Career
Early years
Čović came through the Vojvodina youth categories, and began his professional career at the age of 16 at Cement Beočin, making 19 league appearances and scoring 5 goals.[1] He said: "The goal was to continue the tradition, since all the men from my closest family started their careers in Cement. It is interesting that all of them were defenders, I am the only forward".[2]
Vojvodina
During the summer of 2011, Čović was signed to Vojvodina by a free transfer. He scored against Vaduz in a game that Vojvodina lost 3–1 in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase.[3] Subsequently, having spent only a month with Vojvodina, Čović was traded to Spartak Zlatibor Voda. He made his league debut for his new club on 10 September 2011 in a 2-0 away victory over Novi Pazar.[4]
