Career
After playing in the Endeavour Sports High School team, Jovanović played with Parramatta in Australia[4] before signing in January 2008 with Serbian SuperLiga club Vojvodina.[5] Because of his youth he failed to make any league appearance that season and in the following one, while in the 2008–09 season, he was loaned to lower league neighbouring clubs Palić and Veternik.
In the summer of 2009, Vojvodina loaned Jovanović to Serbian First League club Novi Sad, where he stayed for a season and a half, becoming a regular player and making a total of 35 league appearances and even scoring one goal.
In the summer of 2011, he left Vojvodina and signed with another Serbian top league club, Hajduk Kula. He made his Serbian SuperLiga debut on 25 September 2011, in for the 2013 K League 2 in South Korea. After one season he moved up a division to K League 1 side Jeju United for the 2014 season.[6]
On 6 February 2016, Jovanović transferred to Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda.[7] In February 2017, he came back to South Korea and once again joined Jeju United, being a regular in the club ever since.[1] He left Jeju in January 2020, after his contract expired.
On 14 January 2020, Jovanović signed a six-month contract with a possibility of an extension with Bosnian Premier League club Željezničar.[8] He made his official debut for the club in a 0–0 league draw against Radnik Bijeljina on 22 February 2020.[9] Jovanović left Željezničar in July 2020.[10]
On 13 October 2020 he joined Macarthur.[11]
