Aleksandar Šćekić (Cyrillic: Александар Шћекић; born 12 December 1991) is a Montenegrin professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Serbian club Partizan and the Montenegro national team.

Club career

Šćekić made his senior debut for hometown club Berane in the 2009–10 Montenegrin First League, as the club suffered relegation to the Second League. He was subsequently loaned to Lovćen, continuing to play in the top flight, before returning to Berane in the second half of the 2010–11 Montenegrin Second League and helping them earn promotion back to the First League. However, they were immediately relegated back to the second tier. He was then loaned out to Jedinstvo Bijelo Polje, spending there the first half of the 2012–13 Montenegrin First League, before rejoining Berane until the end of the 2012–13 Montenegrin Second League.

In the summer of 2013, Šćekić joined fellow Second League club Bokelj and instantly helped them win the championship and promotion to the First League. He played regularly in the top flight over the next two seasons, earning himself a call-up to the national team.

In June 2016, Šćekić moved abroad and signed with Turkish club Gençlerbirliği on a three-year deal.[1] He scored two times in 24 games during the 2017–18 Süper Lig, once in a 2–1 home win over Beşiktaş and once in a 5–1 away loss against Galatasaray.

In August 2018, Šćekić signed a three-year contract with Serbian club Partizan, being handed the number 19 shirt.[2]

International career

Šćekić was capped for Montenegro at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. He made his full international debut for Montenegro under Ljubiša Tumbaković, playing the first 85 minutes of a 2–1 friendly loss against Greece on 24 March 2016.
