Club career

Čukarički

He made his Jelen SuperLiga debut for Čukarički on away match versus Partizan on 28 May 2014.[4] When he entered into the pitch, he became the youngest player in history of Čukarički and second youngest in football history of Serbia.[5] Mehmedović signed his first three-year professional contract with Čukarički ending of 2015.[6]

Tampines Rovers

In December 2018, Mehmedovic was offered a trial at Singapore Premier League's side Tampines Rovers.[7] Mehmedovic was brought in by Tampines' assistant coach Fahrudin Mustafić, who said: "He's a young player, but he's very creative. These days, there aren't many No. 10 players who can give you quality final passes and can receive the ball around the box and score.

"So he adds that extra quality and he's doing well so far. It's a huge step for him to come to a foreign country, but he has been training hard and showing signs of improvement."[8]
