He is also remembered as an excellent striker, being the sixth all-time pre-1941 Yugoslav First League top-scorer, with a total of 51 goals.

He started playing for Palilulac, between 1930 and 1932, and later in Čukarički, until 1936, when he moved to one of the major clubs in the country, SK Jugoslavija.

All the success was interrupted by an unfortunate injury of the meniscus that would make him pause for entire three years!

His debut was on 22 May 1938 against Italy in Genova, a 0–4 loss, and his final match was on 22 September 1940 in Belgrade against Romania, also a defeat, this time by 1–2.

After retiring from football, he continued living in Subotica where he eventually died in summer of 1987 with 73 years of age.
