Club career

Borac Čačak

Jovičić made his professional debut with Borac Čačak. By the beginning of the 2013–14 Serbian First League season, Jovičić was the youngest captain in the team's history.[2] At the end of the season, Borac finished second overall and was promoted to the SuperLiga. Jovičić spent a total of six years at Borac Čačak before his first transfer to Amkar Perm.[1]

Amkar Perm

In August 2014, Jovičić signed a one-year contract with a provisional extension of two years[1] for Russian team Amkar Perm.[3] In his debut season with Amkar, Jovičić played 21 games and scored a total of three goals.[4] As a result, Amkar gave Jovičić a pay increase after he agreed to extend his contract by two years.[4]

Red Star Belgrade

On July 8, 2017, Jovičić signed a three-year contract with Serbian side Red Star Belgrade.[5] He made his debut for new club in first leg of the second qualifying round for 2017–18 UEFA Europa League, in a 1–1 draw against Irtysh Pavlodar.[6] Jovičić was elected for the player of the match in 2–0 win against the same rival, in the second leg.[7] Jovičić suffered a metatarsal bone fracture after a bad tackle by Nikola Drinčić during the match against Čukarički on August 6, 2017.[8] Returning to the field, Jovičić scored his first goal for Red Star Belgrade in 5–0 victory over Radnik Surdulica, when he realised a penalty kick in 91 minute of the match, played on 29 November 2017.[9]

Jovičić was called up to Serbian senior squad in September, 2018, to play during the UEFA Nations League. He made his international debut on October 11th, 2018, as a 72nd minute substitute against Montenegro in a 2-0 victory.
