Club career

Slović started out at his hometown club Borac Čačak, helping them win the Second League of FR Yugoslavia in the 1993–94 season and earn promotion to the First League of FR Yugoslavia. He was transferred to Železnik in the 1997 winter transfer window. After his consistent performances in the 1997–98 season, Slović secured a move to Red Star Belgrade. He, however, failed to make an impact with the team and quickly returned to Železnik. In the summer of 2001, Slović moved abroad to Slovenia and played briefly for Korotan Prevalje,{{Cite web | url=https://www.nzs.si/tekmovanja/?action=igralecStat&id_igralca=52686 | title=Slobodan Slovič | language=sl | publisher=nzs.si | access-date=11 December 2021}} before returning to Železnik once again.

After a brief comeback spell at Borac Čačak, Slović moved abroad for the second time and signed with Belgian First Division side Cercle Brugge in June 2004.{{Cite web | url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dma29062004_020 | title=Drie Servische testspelers tekenen bij Cercle Brugge | language=nl | publisher=nieuwsblad.be | date=28 June 2004 | access-date=11 December 2021}} He was loaned to Belgian Second Division club Royal Antwerp in January 2008.{{Cite web | url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf19012008_055 | title=Cercle Brugge leent Slovic uit aan FC Antwerp | language=nl | publisher=nieuwsblad.be | date=18 January 2008 | access-date=11 December 2021}} At the end of the season, Slović terminated his contract with Cercle Brugge{{Cite web | url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/o31u2dkh_4 | title=Slovic en Cercle uiteen | language=nl | publisher=nieuwsblad.be | date=8 July 2008 | access-date=11 December 2021}} and signed with Royal Antwerp on a permanent basis.{{Cite web | url=https://www.voetbalkrant.com/nieuws/2008-07-22/slovic-tekent-bij-antwerp | title=Slovic tekent bij Antwerp | language=nl | publisher=voetbalkrant.com | date=22 July 2008 | access-date=11 December 2021}} He signed a contract with Belgian Third Division side Cappellen in August 2009.{{Cite web | url=https://www.voetbalkrant.com/nieuws/2009-08-03/slovic-gaat-aan-de-slag-bij-capellen | title=Slovic gaat aan de slag bij Capellen | language=nl | publisher=voetbalkrant.com | date=3 August 2009 | access-date=11 December 2021}}
