Club career

Kirovski started his career with Zemun in the 2008–09 season. He was first choice goalkeeper for three seasons, making near 100 official appearances for the club. Kirovski then spent two seasons at Red Star Belgrade, before returning to Zemun in the summer of 2013. Kirovski was elected for the best goalkeeper in the 2016–17 Serbian First League season, by Serbian newspaper Sportski žurnal.[2] On 22 June 2017, Kirovski signed a two-year deal with Čukarički.[3] After a season with Čukarički, Kirovski mutually terminated the contract and left the club following the end of the 2017–18 Serbian SuperLiga campaign.[4] On 20 June, Kirovski was promoted as a new player of Vardar by the sporting director, Darko Pančev.[5] In December 2018, Kirovski terminated the contract with and left Vardar as a free agent, missing to make any official appearance for the club.[6]

On 5 February 2019, Kirovski joined FK Budućnost Dobanovci.[7] After a short spell at OFK Žarkovo, Kirovski returned to Budućnost Dobanovci in January 2020, before retiring four months later at the age of 30, in May 2020, after his fifth back surgery.[8]
