He started his career with the youth side of NK Pula. He moved around to a couple of clubs, before returning to NK Pula. Finally, he was signed by Energie Cottbus in 2006.[1] Rivić has thus far been capped for the under-21 national team.

He scored his first Bundesliga goal on 6 May 2008 in his side's 1–1 draw against Karlsruher SC. In the next fixture against Hamburg, he scored again as his side gained a vital 2–0 victory. In next season he scored just one goal, and in the same season his club was relegated to 2. Bundesliga.

On 6 August 2012, Rivić rejoined Cottbus on a two-year contract. He left the club at the end of the 2013–14 season after they had been relegated from the 2. Bundesliga.
