Career

He started his career playing in the youth squads of his home town FK Priština. In 1992 he passed to the senior squad, playing, in that period, in the First League of FR Yugoslavia. In 1995 he moved to the historic, also First league, club Radnički Niš. He still played one season in the lower league FK Palilulac, before moving, in 1997, to Belgium to play in SV Roeselare for two seasons. In 1999, he moved to Germany to play in the 2. Bundesliga club Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, but after one season, was back to Belgium, now to play in RC Harelbeke, a club that changed name to K.R.C. Zuid-West-Vlaanderen. In 2002, he was back to Serbia, this time to the ambitious Second League club Hajduk Beograd before, in 2003, moving to the, traditionally biggest, Bosnia and Herzegovina club FK Željezničar from Sarajevo. After one season there, he was back to Serbia, now to plat in the First League club Borac Čačak, but soon, moved to a short spell in Cyprus with AEP Paphos. After returning, he played for one and a half seasons in, now called Serbian SuperLiga club FK Smederevo, a traditional Serbian club, better known by his former name of FK Sartid. In January 2007, he moved back to a Serbian First League, new name for the old Second League, club Hajduk Beograd, where he stayed until 2008. Then he moved to Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnian-Serb club FK Laktaši. In 2009, with 34 years, decided to return to Serbia, and signed with FK Sloga Kraljevo.

After finishing his playing career, he became goalkeeping coach. After working in FK Rad, he moved to another Serbian SuperLiga side, FK Voždovac during the winter break of the 2014–15 season.[1]
