Early life and career
editJanković was born in Belgrade, Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia and started his career at FK Rad. He spent seven seasons at the club, appearing in 159 matches and scoring 18 goals. After that, he played for FK Radnički Beograd and Polish club GKS Bełchatów.
FC UTA Arad was obligated to pay monthly 3.000 euro to Janković, transferred in July 2006, despite coach Marius Lacatus not wanting him at the team anymore. At the beginning of January,[when?] Lacatus announced Janković was not part of his plans anymore, and that he was free to look for another club. The Serbian underwent tests in Serbia, Ukraine and Russia and negotiated with CFR Timişoara and Unirea Alba-Iulia, but could not find an agreement. Because of that, Janković decided to respect he agreement with UTA, valid until 2008, and was sent to their second team, Gloria Arad, from Liga III. Because he attended training sessions and respecting the schedule, Janković couldn't be penalized and his contract couldn't be cancelled.[citation needed]
In June 2008, he signed with Bulgarian Minyor Pernik. After three seasons at Minyor Pernik, he joined Serbian FK Donji Srem on free transfer. In July 2015, as a free agent, he returned to his former club FK Radnički Beograd, now in the Serbian third league.
