Club career

FK Buducnost Podgorica

A product of the Crvena Stijena[2] from Tološi, a suburb of Podgorica, and the Buducnost Podgorica youth systems, Raičković helped his team clinch the 2012–13 Montenegrin Cup aged 19, making 112 appearances in all competitions during his time there and winning the 2016-17 Montenegrin First League trophy.[3]

Sarawak FA

Attracted by the prospect of playing professionally overseas in Asia,[3] the Montenegrin signed for Sarawak of the Malaysia Super League in the summer of 2017 as the club needed a player to improve their midfield.[4] Arriving in Malaysia, the midfielder praised his teammates for their friendliness in helping him adapt,[3] with Sarawak coach David Usop confident on his quality as well.[5] Raickovic responded to this with an important goal for his team in the 65th minute of the 2017 Malaysia Cup group stage 5th round, beating Selangor 2–1.[6] He was also complimented by his coach for leading the attack and displaying good control in a 2–0 triumph over Kelantan, Sarawak's third win in the 2017 Malaysia Super League.[7]

Seongnam FC

On 17th June 2022, Raičković joined Seongnam FC of South Korean K League 1.[8]

International career

Recording 20 appearances with the youth categories of the Montenegro national team, Raickovic has stated his ambition to represent the senior team of Montenegro internationally.[3] He made his senior debut in an October 2020 friendly match against Latvia.[9]

Playing style

Raičković can operate as either a central midfielder or defensive midfielder[3] and is known for his sagacious attacking movements and vision for an accurate pass.[10][3] In addition, he specializes in long shots and can move up in attack as well.[10]
