Playing career

Club

He is a solid and versatile defender. He occasionally switches to a midfield role and scores more goals than is expected for a defender. He is credited by his teammates for his fighting spirit in the defensive line, usually disposing strikers from the ball and leading a counter-attack.

In January, 2008, he was sold to K.S.C. Lokeren in Belgium.

In 2010, he resigned for FK Sarajevo. However, in the summer transfer window of 2011, during July, he signed for Khazar Lankaran FK in Azerbaijan, only to cancel the transfer one month later and return home to Sarajevo, but this time to FK Olimpic Sarajevo instead of FK Sarajevo.

International

He made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a June 2007 European Championship qualification match against Malta and has earned a total of 3 caps, scoring no goals and all in UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying, in a total of 14 minutes. His final international was in November 2007 against Turkey.^[1]
