Biography

Djordjic started his career at IF Brommapojkarna before moving to Manchester United F.C. in 1999 as a youth player. Although considered a budding talent, he only made two appearances for United, but was awarded the prize "Jimmy Murphy (footballer) Manchester_United_F.C._Reserves_and_Academy Players_of_the_Year" at the age of 18.

He was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday F.C., AGF Aarhus and FK Red Star, where he scored his first senior goal against Odense BK in the UEFA Cup 2003-04 before moving, on loan again, to Rangers F.C. in January 2005. However, injuries limited his chances to establish himself in the first team at Ibrox, and he moved to Plymouth Argyle F.C. on a free transfer at the end of the 2004-05 in English football season. Other club interested in the winger was Stockholm-based side AIK Fotboll, the club that Djordjic supports.

On August 24 2006, after spending just over a season at Plymouth, Djordjic was placed on the transfer list by manager Ian Holloway as a result of his sometimes lax attitude towards the team when playing and training. He was promised the opportunity to get back into the first team once his attitude improved.

Djordjic finally returned to the starting lineup after he scored 8 goals in 5 games for the reserves and after exactly a 13-month absence, on November 18, 2006, scoring in the 5th minute in a 1-1 away draw at Southend United F.C.. He was removed from the transfer list the following week, and went on to score in the next two consecutive games (Leeds United and Luton Town).

On 19 October 2007, Djordjic's contract was terminated by mutual consent due to lack of first-team opportunities.On 13 November, it was officially announced he had signed a two-year deal with Swedish club AIK Fotboll. His first season for the club hasn’t been what he was hoping for with several injury and on 13 September 2008 he was injured once again and will miss the remaining eight matches of the season. His first match for AIK Fotboll was against Kalmar FF on 30 March 2008 in the first game of the Allsvenskan 2008.
