On 5 July 2013, Jokić moved to La Liga side Villarreal, signing a four-year deal with the club, after his link with Chievo expired.[http://www.villarrealcf.es/en/news/general-news/item/3185-villarreal-sign-slovenian-international-bojan-jokic Villarreal Sign Slovenian International Bojan Jokic] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812204430/http://www.villarrealcf.es/en/news/general-news/item/3185-villarreal-sign-slovenian-international-bojan-jokic |date=12 August 2014 }}; Villarreal's official website, 5 July 2013 He made his debut in the competition on 29 September, starting in a 1–0 loss at Real Betis.[http://www.marca.com/eventos/marcador/futbol/2013_14/primera/jornada_7/bet_vil/ El Villarreal pierde el duende en Sevilla (Villarreal loses luck in Sevilla)]; Marca, 29 September 2013 {{in lang|es}}

On 21 January 2017, Jokić signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the Russian Premier League side FC Ufa.{{cite web|publisher=FC Ufa|url=http://www.fcufa.pro/allarticle/lenta/61-klub/3908-zashchitnik-sbornoj-slovenii-popolnil-sostav-fk-ufa|script-title=ru:Защитник сборной Словении пополнил состав ФК «Уфа»|date=21 February 2017|language=ru|access-date=21 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170302001004/http://www.fcufa.pro/allarticle/lenta/61-klub/3908-zashchitnik-sbornoj-slovenii-popolnil-sostav-fk-ufa|archive-date=2 March 2017|url-status=dead}} On 2 August 2018, he scored a late equalizer that made the score 1–1 against the Slovenian club NK Domžale in an away leg of their UEFA Europa League qualifier.
