Career

Early life and career

Pavicevic is the son of Andrej Pavicevic, an Australian racing car driver. Radovan was also involved in racing Go-Karts, and still holds lap records as a rookie at Newcastle Kart Racing Club at Cameron Park.[1]

Pavicevic attended, and played for Westfields Sports High School winning the 2010 Bill Turner Cup,[2] as well as Marconi Stallions, before signing a youth contract with the Newcastle Jets youth team. In 2014 Pavicevic severely broke his arm during a Northern NSW NPL fixture against South Cardiff FC, having run into the perimeter fence surrounding the field during the game. The break in his arm required surgery to put a metal plate and 12 screws into his left humerus, and there were fears he could suffer permanent nerve damage as a result of the injury.[3]

Newcastle Jets

Pavicevic made his senior debut for the Newcastle Jets off the bench in a 0–7 loss to Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium.[4] His first goal would come shortly afterwards in a 2–1 defeat to Brisbane Roar.[5] These early appearances would impress Jets manager Phil Stubbins enough, to earn him a two-year contract.[6]

Pavicevic was released by the Jets in December 2016, having made 17 appearances for the side.[7]
