He is considered to be one of the best Macedonian footballers ever, beside, the Golden Shoe, Darko Pančev. He started playing still teenager in FK Belasica Strumica, after he moved in Belgrade giants FK Partizan, but after not getting many chances there, he moved to Second League FK Teteks where he would become the clubs main star.
