Club career
editŠovšić was signed by NK Zagreb from Bosnian side FK Sarajevo in 2008 and immediately signed a professional contract and joined the Zagreb first team, despite being just 18 years of age. At Zagreb, Šovšić became a vital part of their midfield for many years and after their unexpected relegation from the Croatian First Division in the 2012-13 season, NK Lokomotiva paid a transfer fee of about €500,000 to sign the player and keep him in the 1.HNL.[2] In August 2015, he left Lokomotiva for Dinamo Zagreb.[3] On 25 September 2015, he made a league debut for Dinamo Zagreb against NK Osijek, entering the game as a substitute on the home field.
In February 2017, Šovšić joined South Korean side Suwon Samsung Bluewings after terminating his contract with Dinamo Zagreb by mutual consent.[4]
On 25 September 2020, he returned to Sandecja Nowy Sącz in Poland.[5] On 4 January 2023, his contract was amicably terminated.[6]
On 25 January 2023, Šovšić joined South Korean K League 2 team Cheonan City FC.[7]
