Jocić played in the local German circuit during the 2009-10 season with TuRU Düsseldorf.[1] Following his run in Germany, he returned to his native country to play in the Serbian second division with Novi Sad in 2010.[2] In his debut season with Novi Sad, he appeared in 8 matches.[3] Jocić made his league cup debut in the Serbian Cup on September 21, 2011, against Javor Ivanjica.[3] In the early winter of 2012, he was also invited for a trial with Spartak Subotica.[4]

Jocić would play the remainder of the 2011-12 season with Radnički Sombor.[3] In total, he played in 10 matches and scored 1 goal.[3]

Hungary

Jocić ventured abroad to Hungary where he received a trial with Pécsi in the summer of 2013.[5] Ultimately, he signed a contract with the club to compete in the country's top-flight league.[6][7] He made his league debut for the club on August 24, 2013, against MTK Budapest.[8] Throughout his stint in the Hungarian circuit, he also participated in the 2013–14 Ligakupa where he played in 6 matches.[3] His tenure in Hungary was short-lived as he left the club during the 2014 winter transfer market.[9][10]

After his release from Pécsi, he returned to the local Serbian circuits and initially played with FK Sumadinac.[11] The following season he secured a contract with Radnički Svilajnac.[11]

Canada

After his second stint in Serbia, he played in the Canadian Soccer League's first division with the Serbian White Eagles in the summer of 2016.[12] In his debut season in the Canadian circuit, he helped the Serbs clinch a playoff berth by finishing fourth in the division.[13] The Serbs would defeat Toronto Atomic in the first round of the playoffs.[14] The White Eagles would defeat Ukraine United in the next round to advance to the championship final.[15] In the championship final, the club defeated Hamilton City by a score of 2–1.[16][17]

He re-signed with the western Toronto-based club the following season.[18] Jocić would help the Serbs secure a playoff berth by finishing second in the division.[19] In the preliminary round of the postseason, Toronto would defeat SC Waterloo Region.[20] Serbia's participation in the tournament would conclude in the next round as the York Region Shooters would eliminate them.[21] Jocić would return for another season in 2018 and once more he assisted the club in securing a playoff berth.[22][23]

The 2020 season would mark his fifth and final campaign with the White Eagles.[24] The club would enter the postseason tournament where Vorkuta defeated them in the opening round.[25]
