Club career
After playing five seasons for Anderlecht, Lovre signed a two-year deal with Groningen in the 2006 summer transfer window, with a possibility of a two-year extension. He spent four years in the Netherlands, making near 130 Eredivisie appearances and scoring 23 goals.
On 28 May 2010, Lovre signed a two-year deal with the English Championship side Barnsley.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win over Ipswich Town, where he was influential in the middle of the park, getting an assist.[3] On 7 December 2011, his contract with Barnsley was terminated by mutual consent after featuring very little under new manager Keith Hill.[4]
In June 2012, Serbian press reported that he might sign a contract with Partizan, the club where he started playing football.[5] On 9 June 2012, Lovre signed a two-year contract with the Serbian SuperLiga champions.[6]
In July 2013 some rumors in Iran had it that he was about to sign a contract with Esteghlal, having lost its pivotal midfielder Mojtaba Jabbari a few days back, the management of the Iranian club was under tremendous pressure to hire a competent replacement. Lovre also was in trial with Esteghlal in January 2013 but he was not confirmed by the club head coach Amir Ghalenoei. Finally, he joined to the team on 21 July 2013 with signing an one year contract.
