Boban Stojanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бобан Стојановић; born 27 February 1979) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Career

Stojanović came through the youth system of Red Star Belgrade, before being loaned out on several occasions.[1] He enjoyed most success at First League of Serbia and Montenegro sides Radnički Obrenovac and Borac Čačak, scoring in double digits.

In early 2007, Stojanović was transferred to Romanian club UTA Arad. He returned to his homeland and rejoined Borac Čačak in early 2008, helping them secure a spot in UEFA competitions for the first time in history. In the 2008–09 UEFA Cup, Stojanović scored two goals during the qualifying rounds. He also appeared in both legs against Ajax in the first round, as they were eliminated 6–1 on aggregate.[2][3]

In 2012, Stojanović agreed terms with Canadian Soccer League side London City.[4] He later returned to Serbia and briefly played for his former club Jedinstvo Ub, before rejoining London City in 2013.[5][6] In 2014, Stojanović made another return to Jedinstvo Ub.
