Club career

Early career

Born in Cetinje, Janković joined Partizan from Lovćen as a trainee in 2007. He spent the next five years in the club's youth setup, before making his senior debuts with their affiliated club Teleoptik in the 2012–13 Serbian First League.

Olympiacos

In summer 2013, Janković was transferred to Greek champions Olympiacos on a four-year contract.[1] He played for their youth side in the inaugural 2013–14 UEFA Youth League, but failed to make any first team appearances.

In the summer of 2014, Janković was sent on loan to Serbian club OFK Beograd. He scored on his league debut after coming on as a substitute in a 3–2 home win over Novi Pazar.[2] Throughout the 2014–15 Serbian SuperLiga, Janković scored four goals from 19 games.

On 31 August 2015, Janković was loaned to Slovenian club Maribor with an option to buy.[3] He made his league debut for the side on 23 September in a 1–1 home draw with Domžale, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Dare Vršič.[4] During his spell at Maribor, Janković helped the club win the Slovenian Cup, playing the full 120 minutes and converting his penalty kick in the shootout against Celje in the final.[5]

Partizan

On 15 June 2016, Janković joined his parent club Partizan on a season-long loan.[6] He wore the number 95 shirt and made his competitive debut on 14 July in a 0–0 home draw with Zagłębie Lubin in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round.[7] On 6 November, Janković netted his first official goal for Partizan, opening the scoring in an eventual 4–0 home league win over Novi Pazar. In his first campaign with Partizan, Janković helped the club win the double.[8]

On 14 September 2017, Janković scored the opening goal in a 1–1 away draw against Swiss club Young Boys in the Europa League group stage.[9] He finished the 2017–18 season with 42 appearances in all competitions and scored seven goals in the process.

On 10 November 2018, Janković made his 100th competitive appearance for Partizan in a 2–0 home league victory over Radnik Surdulica. Upon leaving Partizan, he forgave at least €160,000 worth of unpaid salary.[10]

SPAL

On 31 January 2019, Janković signed a contract with Serie A side SPAL lasting until June 2022, in a transfer worth €1.8 million.[10] Only half of the transfer fee went to Partizan, as the other 50% of the fee went to Olympiacos due to a percentage clause from his previous transfer from Olympiacos to Partizan.[10]

Crotone (loan)

On 31 January 2020, Janković joined Serie B club Crotone on loan until 30 June 2020.[11]

International career

Janković was capped for Montenegro at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. He made his full international debut for Montenegro on 29 May 2016, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 friendly loss away against Turkey.[12] On 10 September 2018, Janković scored his first international goal for Montenegro in a 2–1 home victory over Lithuania in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League C.
