Club career

Lakić made his first football steps at Iskra Danilovgrad, before joining the youth ranks of Budućnost Podgorica. He was a member of the team that won promotion to the First League of Serbia and Montenegro, together with Nikola Vujović, Milan Purović and Igor Burzanović, among others. In the following two seasons (2004–2006), Lakić played regularly for his club, becoming one of the most promising defenders in the country.

In January 2008, Lakić was transferred to Partizan, signing a two-year contract, with an option for a third year.[1] He rejoined his teammate Mladen Božović, who moved in the same direction earlier that month.[2] However, Lakić made only two competitive appearances for Partizan, as they won the double, before leaving the club in the 2008 summer transfer window. He subsequently moved to Vojvodina, recording only 13 league appearances in the next two years (2008–2010).

In June 2011, Lakić returned to his homeland and joined Mogren.[3] He again moved to Serbia and signed with Čukarički in the summer of 2012. After another year without competitive football, Lakić signed with Mladost Podgorica in January 2014.[4]

International career

Lakić represented Serbia and Montenegro at under-21 level. He then played for Montenegro at full international level, making seven appearances from 2007 to 2008.
