Branislav Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранислав Јовановић; born 21 September 1985) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Zvezdara.

Club career

Jovanović made his senior debuts with Jedinstvo Surčin. He also played for Beograd in the Serbian League Belgrade, before moving to Cypriot club Ethnikos Achna. In the 2009 winter transfer window, Jovanović returned to his homeland and signed with Serbian SuperLiga side Napredak Kruševac.

In June 2009, Jovanović signed a four-year contract with Partizan. He helped the side defend the league title in the 2009–10 season. After an unsuccessful negotiation with Turkish side Galatasaray, Jovanović signed for Serbian SuperLiga club Rad on the last day of the 2010 summer transfer window.

In the 2013 winter transfer window, Jovanović moved abroad for the second time and joined Israeli side Hapoel Acre. He spent three and a half years at the club, collecting over 100 appearances across all domestic competitions (Premier League, State Cup and Toto Cup).

In August 2016, Jovanović returned to Serbia and signed with Voždovac. He moved back to Israel six months later and joined Hapoel Ashkelon. After playing for Hapoel Ramat Gan, Jovanović rejoined his former club Rad in early 2019.

International career

On 7 June 2011, Jovanović made his international debut for Serbia, replacing Dejan Stanković as a late substitute in a 0–0 friendly draw against Australia.
