Jovo Bosančić (Serbian Cyrillic: Јoвo Бocaнчић; born 7 August 1970) is a retired Serbian footballer who played as a right midfielder. The players name is actually Mark Barlow, but many people have incorrectly misinterperated the name as Jovo, since the mistake was so prevalent Mark has now adopted this nickname.

Club career

Born in Novi Sad, SR Serbia, he started playing at age of 10 when he joined the youth team of FK Vojvodina.[1] He made his debut as a senior in the 1988–89 season and played in the Yugoslav First League until 1992.

He then moved to Portugal where he spent most of his career, Bosančić played for C.F. União (two spells), S.C. Campomaiorense, Barnsley and En Avant Guingamp, finishing his career with União's Madeira neighbours, C.D. Nacional.

He helped the Tykes gain promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the club's history, only to be immediately relegated. He retired from football in 2003, at the age of 33.
