Nikola Leković (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Лековић; born 19 December 1989) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Belarus club Dinamo Minsk.
Club career
Leković started out at Partizan as a trainee in 1998.[1] He spent nine years in the club's youth setup, before switching to Bežanija for the final year of his formation in 2007. In May 2008, Leković was promoted to their senior squad, making his Serbian SuperLiga debut in a 0–1 home loss to Hajduk Kula. He played for two more seasons at the club, as they competed in the Serbian First League, before securing a transfer to Rad in the summer of 2010. Afterwards, Leković spent the following three seasons at Banjica, being a first team regular.
In July 2013, Leković was transferred to Vojvodina on a two-year contract plus a one-year option.[2] He scored a goal in the 90th minute of a 1–2 away loss against Moldovan champions Sheriff Tiraspol in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League play-off round, as Vojvodina were eliminated. In February 2014, Leković moved abroad and signed with Polish club Lechia Gdańsk.[3]
On 31 August 2015, Leković joined his parent club Partizan on a season-long loan from Lechia Gdańsk.[4] He was given the number 3 shirt, previously worn by Vladimir Volkov. After becoming a free agent, Leković agreed terms with Napredak Kruševac in July 2016.
In January 2017, Leković moved abroad for the second time and signed with Belarus club Dinamo Minsk.[5]
International career
Leković represented his country at under-21 level, making two appearances in the team's unsuccessful qualifiers for the 2011 UEFA Under-21 Championship.
