He played for Jedinstvo Vršac in 2001–02 in FR Yugoslavia third level, and then with Mladost Lukićevo in Second League of FR Yugoslavia.[1] Then, he moved, in 2003, to Macedonia to play with FK Sileks from Kratovo. He was the best striker in Makedonska 1. Liga over his first three seasons with them and his great form earned him a 250,000 Euros transfer to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the South Korean K-League. His form in his inaugural K-League season earned him Player of the Year awards and has reportedly been targeted by the 2008 AFC Champion, the Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds, for a rumored sum of 1.725 million Euros. Pohang Steelers agreed a player swap loaned with Shin Kwang-Hoon going in the opposite direction for two and a half years in 2008.
In August 2010, Ristić signed a three-year contract with Russian Premier League side Amkar Perm.[2]
He elected to play and made his senior debut for Macedonia in a February 2007 friendly match against Albania in which he immediately scored and has earned a total of 17 caps, scoring 1 goal.[3] His final international was an October 2012 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Croatia.[4]
He is married and has two kids. His wife is Macedonian.
