Club career

Early years
"I watched the little one when he was on loan in ČSK Čelarevo. It's unbelievable how he pushes the ball, like Iniesta. I thought he wouldn't be able to repeat that in the top tier, but he dominated here too. He's a scary player."

Zvezdan Terzić speaking about Plavšić, June 2015[1]

Plavšić played in FK Vojvodina's youth system, but was told that he was too small to make it for Vojvodina's first team.[2] He began playing football on a senior level with ČSK Čelarevo in the lower tiers of the Serbian football pyramid.[3][4] He played in Čelarevo for two seasons before moving to Spartak from Subotica.[4] It was in Spartak where Plavšić made his debut in the Serbian top flight for the 2014–15 season, and he played impressively particularly in a match against Red Star Belgrade.[1]

Red Star Belgrade

On 10 August 2015 Plavšić signed a three-year contract with Red Star Belgrade. In his promotion the following day, he chose the number 17 for his jersey.[4] At Red Star, he got the nickname "Atomic Ant", due to his height of 166 centimeters, which at the time was the shortest among all of Red Star's players.[5] In the first half of the 2015-16 season, Plavšić was statistically Red Star's most fouled player, as other teams' players would routinely accumulate yellow cards from tackling him.[6]

Sparta Prague

Plavšić signed with Czech side Sparta Prague on 27 June 2017.[7] The reported fee is believed to be around €1.3 million.[8] He made his debut for Sparta in 2–0 defeat against his former club Red Star Belgrade on 27 July 2017.[9]

International career

Plavšić made his international debut for the Serbia national football team in a friendly 3-0 loss to Qatar.[10] He also received a call for a friendly match against United States, on 29 January 2017.[11]

Personal life

Plavšić's father Petar, also born in Novi Sad, was a professional futsal player during his youth.[6] Srđan has credited his father for teaching him many of the tricks he plays in matches.[6] Srđan's paternal grandfather is from Šipovo.[12]
