Uroš Spajić

Uroš Spajić ( sr-Cyrl, Урош Спајић, ; born 13 February 1993) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a center back for Red Star Belgrade.

Club career

Red Star Belgrade

Spajić made his professional debut for Red Star Belgrade on 27 October 2010 in a Serbian Cup match against Borac Čačak. He was subsequently loaned to Red Star's farm team Sopot in the Serbian third tier, where he played the 2011–12 season. In his final season at Red Star, he appeared in 16 games and became recognized as a player with remarkable qualities.

Toulouse

On 29 May 2013, Red Star Belgrade and Toulouse FC agreed on Spajić's transfer to the French side for €1.5 million. Spajić made his Toulouse debut against Valenciennes on the opening day of the 2013–14 season; after Steeve Yago committed a foul to concede a penalty, the uninvolved Spajić was sent off in an apparent case of mistaken identity.

Anderlecht

On 31 August 2016, Spajić joined Belgian club Anderlecht on a season-long loan deal. The deal was made permanent near the end of the 2016-17 season.

Krasnodar

Before the 2020–21 season, a new limit of 8 foreign players in a squad was introduced by the Russian Premier League. Spajić did not appear for Krasnodar in 2020 up to that point due to injury, and he was not registered with the league for the season. On 21 January 2022, his contract with Krasnodar was terminated by mutual consent.

Feyenoord

On 15 September 2020 he joined Feyenoord on loan for the remainder of the season. He made his debut for the club on 4 October 2020 by starting in the away game against Willem II, a match which was won 1–4.

Kasımpaşa

On 31 January 2022, Spajić joined Turkish club Kasımpaşa. In April 2022, he injured his knee ligaments, and missed the rest of the season and the World Cup 2022. He left the club at the end of the season.

Red Star Belgrade

In December 2022, he signed a three year deal with his home club, Red Star Belgrade.

International career

Spajić first played for Serbia's U21 team in a friendly with Israel U21 on 6 February 2013. He played all three group matches for the team at the 2015 UEFA Under-21 Championship.

He made his debut for the Serbian national team on 4 September 2015 in a EURO 2016 qualifier against Armenia which Serbia won 2–0.

In June 2018 he was selected in Serbia's squad for the 2018 World Cup, but he failed to make any appearances there.
