Career
editRatković was born in Belišće. He started playing at Podravac Bistrinci, moved to NK Belišće at the age of 11.[1] At the age of 14, he was scouted by and moved to Hajduk Split.[2] After eight years Hajduk Split, Ratković moved to Cibalia in 2000.
In 2007, he was signed by German 2. Bundesliga side Eintracht Braunschweig during the winter break. The club was at the bottom of the league at the time, and brought in 11 new players to prevent relegation. However, results did not improve and Braunschweig made the drop to the third division. Ratković left Germany again, after having played only three league games during his brief stay,[3] and returned to Croatia.
