Montenegrin striker Stefan Milosevic, who previously played for Israeli club Ironi Kiryat Shmona, is currently excelling in the Lithuanian league with Transinvest. Milosevic, who was the top assist provider in Lithuania this season with 17 goal involvements, has had a nomadic career since leaving Israel in January 2022 after just half a season.
Milosevic joined Kiryat Shmona in the summer of 2021 after a successful period in Latvia, but struggled to replicate his form, scoring only two goals. His contract was terminated after six months. He then returned to his native Montenegro, played in Romania, Spain, and Gibraltar, before finding a new home in Lithuania in February 2026.
His time in Spain with Algeciras in the third division was particularly unusual. Although he signed in September 2023, he was unable to play for over three months due to a document related to his time in Israel, which was needed for Spanish immigration authorities. The war in Israel reportedly complicated obtaining the necessary approval, which was finally received in mid-December 2023.
Despite finally debuting, Milosevic suffered another injury in February 2024, playing nine goalless games before leaving the club in the summer. He then played for Europa FC in Gibraltar, scoring four goals in 16 appearances, before becoming a free agent again in the summer of 2025.
Now at 30 years old, Milosevic has rediscovered his form with Transinvest, contributing significantly to their offense with eight goals and nine assists. His career has spanned seven countries and included two appearances for the Montenegrin national team, with his brief spell in Kiryat Shmona now appearing as a small chapter in a long and winding journey.
