Miloš Jojić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Јојић; born 19 March 1992) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and the Serbian national team.

Club career

Early years

On 24 January 2012, together with Miloš Ostojić, Jojić signed his first professional contract with Partizan, on a four-year deal.[2] However, Jojić stayed on loan at Teleoptik until the end of the 2011–12 season. During his time at Teleoptik, he scored 14 goals in 60 league appearances.[3]

Partizan

On 15 September 2012, Jojić scored on his official debut for Partizan in a league match against Hajduk Kula.[4] On 18 May 2013, Jojić scored the winning goal in the 90th minute against Partizan's arch-rivals from a free kick, which all but sealed the team's sixth consecutive championship title.[5]

Borussia Dortmund

On 31 January 2014, Jojić signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Borussia Dortmund,[6] for a transfer fee believed to be around £2 million.[7] Jojić made his first appearance for Dortmund as a substitute during their league match against Eintracht Frankfurt on 15 February. After just 17 seconds, he scored with his first touch, a tap-in after Kevin Großkreutz's shot was parried, to make the score 4–0. It was reportedly the fastest goal scored by a Bundesliga debutant, though four seconds too slow to be the fastest by a substitute.[8]

International career

Jojić played for the Serbian national under-19 team at the 2011 UEFA European Championship, where he also managed to score once in the team's tournament opener against Turkey U19. Jojić made his debut for the senior national team on 11 October 2013 in a friendly match against Japan, during which he scored his first international goal for Serbia's senior side in the 90th minute.[9]
