Career

Stojsavljević started his career at National League side Woking, first in the side's development team in 2013, followed by the Under 23s side. He made five appearances for the club before signing for Millwall after a trial period.[4] In January 2018 he suffered an extended period of absence after a fractured skull caused during a header against AFC Fylde.[5]

On 16 May 2019, Millwall announced that Stojsavljević would be released at the end of his current deal.[6]

On 14 June 2019, it was announced that he had signed for Newport County on a two year deal.[7] Stojsavljević played for 29 minutes in his only appearance for Newport, in their 13 August EFL Cup first round win against Gillingham, and was substituted off shortly after Newport went 1-0 down.[8] He subsequently left Newport County by mutual consent on 3 September 2019,[9] and is now a free agent after only three months with the South Wales side.[10] Newport manager Michael Flynn told the media in September 2019 that Stojsavljević had requested contract termination and that the club had bore no financial burden from terminating the deal.[11] Stojsavljević reportedly returned to Serbia to pursue a footballing opportunity "in his home town".[11] Flynn went on to say that in hindsight, he would not have signed Stojsavljevic, nor fellow defender Marvel Ekpiteta, as they were only stopgap signings while uncertainty continued around the re-signing of Mickey Demetriou, who later re-signed with Newport.[11]

In January 2020 he signed for Vojvodina on a contract until January 2024.[12] On 27 August 2020, in order to gain more first-team experience, Stojsavljević joined fellow Serbian SuperLiga side, Rad on a six-month loan deal[13] and went onto make his debut during a 3–1 victory over Napredak Kruševac.[14]
