Club career

Born in Čačak, Marković spent most of his graduated from FK Partizan's youth categories, but was promoted to FK Teleoptik, Partizan's farm team, instead of the main squad. On 14 August 2010 he made his debut as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home success against FK Sinđelić Niš. He scored his first goal on 23 April of the following year, but in a 1–2 away loss against FK Radnički Sombor.

On 11 June 2013, Marković moved to S.L. Benfica, along with his brother Lazar, but was assigned to the reserves while his brother went straight to the main squad.[1] He made his debut for the Encarnados on 1 September, again from the bench in a 1–1 away draw against F.C. Penafiel.[2]

Marković scored his first goal for Benfica B on 6 November 2013, in a 4–4 home draw against C.F. União.[3] He finished the campaign with 21 appearances, the vast majority as a substitute.

On 15 August 2014, Marković signed a two-year deal with the Spanish Segunda División's RCD Mallorca.[4] He played 14 games for them – 5 starts – and scored once in a 4–1 win at UE Llagostera on 19 October.[5]

Marković left Benfica on 9 July 2015, signing a three-year deal at Belgian top flight team Royal Excel Mouscron.[6]

In August 2017, Marković signed for RC Lens in France's Ligue 2.[7] In his second season, he and Moussa Maâzou were completely frozen out by manager Philippe Montanier,[8] and the club unsuccessfully aimed to offload him in January 2019.[9]

Personal life

Marković's younger brother, Lazar, is also a footballer. A winger, he too was groomed in Partizan's youth setup.[10]
