Club career

Early years

Born in Zrenjanin, Matić passed youth categories of Jedinstvo Novi Bečej.[3] He joined the first team in 2008 at the age of 16. He scored one goal in eight caps for the club until the end of 2007–08 season.[4] After scoring 6 goals in 15 matches in the first half of 2009–10 season, Matić was elected the Best Young Athlete of Novi Bečej in 2009.[5] He was also marked as one of the most important players for avoiding relegation in the league after the end of season.[6] In total, Matić was a member of the first team for six seasons in the Vojvodina League East.[7] With 18 goals scored in 27 matches, he helped the team win the competition in the 2012–13 season and take promotion to the Serbian League Vojvodina.[8] In summer 2013, he left the club and joined Senta,[9][10] helping the team to take the first place after the mid-season.[11] Shortly after, Matić moved on trial to Partizan, where he scored a few goals in friendly matches, but failed to sign a contract.[12] In his two seasons with Senta, Matić collected 52 appearances and scored 25 goals.[7] After a short spell with Zemun in late 2015, Matić joined Loznica in early 2016.[13] He earned seven appearances, mostly as a back-up choice, and scored three goals.[7][14][15]

Mačva Šabac

In summer 2016, Matić signed with Mačva Šabac,[16] scoring a brace in his debut match against Sloboda Užice.[17] He scored a total of eight goals in the first half of the season,[18] and added six more in the second, ending as the league's second-highest goalscorer behind Uroš Đerić. He was included in the Best Eleven of the 2016–17 Serbian First League season by Serbian newspaper Sportski žurnal.[19] On 29 July 2017, Matić scored his first goal in the 2017–18 Serbian SuperLiga season in a 1–0 victory over his former club Zemun, giving Mačva their first ever points in the top tier of Serbian football.[20] He also scored two goals in a 4–0 away win against Javor Ivanjica in the next match, after which he was elected as the player of the week in the domestic competition.[2] After scoring five goals in four matches in August 2017, Matić was elected as the player of the month in the Serbian SuperLiga.[21]

FC Seoul

On 17 July 2018, Matić signed a one-and-a-half year contract with K League 1 side FC Seoul.[22]

On 24 January 2019, Matić's contract with FC Seoul was terminated by mutual consent.[23]
