Miloš Jojić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Јојић, pronounced [mǐloʃ jôjitɕ]; born 19 March 1992) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Spanish club CD Castellón.

Club career

Early years

Jojić joined the youth system of Partizan in 2003. He made his senior debut with Teleoptik in 2010. On 24 January 2012, together with Miloš Ostojić, Jojić signed his first professional contract with Partizan, on a four-year deal.[1] He eventually stayed on loan at Teleoptik until the end of the 2011–12 season. During his time at Teleoptik, Jojić scored 14 goals in 60 league appearances.[2]

Partizan

On 15 September 2012, Jojić scored on his competitive debut for Partizan in a 5–2 home league win over Hajduk Kula.[3] On 18 May 2013, Jojić scored the winning goal from a free kick in the 90th minute of the Belgrade derby, which sealed the club's sixth consecutive championship title.[4]

Borussia Dortmund

On 31 January 2014, Jojić signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Borussia Dortmund,[5] for a transfer fee believed to be around €2.5 million.[6] He made his first appearance for the club on 15 February 2014, coming on as a 67th-minute substitute in a home league fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt. After just 17 seconds of action, Jojić scored with his first touch, a tap in after Kevin Großkreutz's shot was parried, to make the score 4–0. This was the fastest goal ever scored by a Bundesliga debutant, though four seconds too slow to be the fastest goal ever scored by a substitute; a record held by Uwe Wassmer.[7]

1. FC Köln

On 5 July 2015, Jojić joined 1. FC Köln for a reported fee of €3 million.[8] On 8 August 2015, he made his competitive debut in a 4–0 win at SV Meppen in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.[9]

Başakşehir

On 10 July 2018, the club announced that Jojić had been sold to the Turkish side İstanbul Başakşehir F.K.[10] On 3 February 2020, he joined Austrian Bundesliga club Wolfsberger on loan.[11]

Partizan

On 3 October 2020, Jojić returned to the Serbian SuperLiga, rejoining Partizan.[12]

Riga

After finishing his contract with Partizan in the summer of 2022, Jojić joined Latvian club Riga, on 9 February 2023.[13]

Castellón

On 15 January 2025, Jojić was announced at Spanish Segunda División side CD Castellón.[14]

International career

Jojić represented Serbia at the 2011 UEFA Under-19 Championship in Romania, managing to score once in the team's opening game against Turkey. Jojić was also a member of the team that took part at the 2015 UEFA Under-21 Championship in the Czech Republic, being eliminated in the group stage.

He made his debut for the senior team in a friendly against Japan on 11 October 2013, scoring a goal in the 90th minute of the game.[15] He earned a total of 5 caps (1 goal) and his final international was a November 2014 friendly match away against Greece.[16]
