Professional career

Matic is a youth product of Grasshopper, and began his career with their reserves in 2013. He joined Schaffhausen on loan between 2017 and 2018.^[1] He made his professional debut for Grasshopper in a 3-0 Swiss Super League loss to FC Sion on 22 May 2019.^[2]

On 29 August 2022, he signed with Swiss Challenge League side FC Thun for the remainder of the first half of the season.^[4]
