Club career

edit

Cvetković moved to Switzerland in 2017, when he joined a fledgling FC Wohlen, who ceased their professional football activities at the end of the season. For the following season, he joined record Swiss champions Grasshopper Club Zürich, who were similarly struggling in the Swiss Super League. Following their relegation in 2019, he stuck with the club and, as captain of the squad, led them back to promotion in 2021.

Despite this success, he got little play time in the new season. On 12 January 2022, in agreement with the club, his contract was dissolved.[2] Two days later, he had joined Swiss Challenge League club FC Aarau, whom he hopes to also lead back to promotion.[3] On 28 July 2022, he signed with FC Aarau for a further two years.[4]

On 4 March 2024, he departed Aarau to join Malaysia Super League side Sri Pahang FC.[5]
