Career
editRadetinac was born in Serbia but moved to Linköping, Sweden as an 18-year-old.[2][3] There he joined local side Linköpings FF and eventually started playing with their first team in the fourth and fifth tier of Swedish football. In 2007, he was picked up by nearby Superettan team Åtvidabergs FF where he became an immediate starter and only missed five league games during his five years with the club. In 2009 Åtvidaberg was promoted to Allsvenskan for the first time since 1982, but was immediately relegated again the following year. Even though the club won promotion again in the 2011 Superettan he still made the move to another Allsvenskan side, Mjällby AIF, at the end of that year.[3][4]
During the summer of 2013 he was offered a contract by Stockholm based club AIK[5] but instead chose to sign a 3.5 year deal with their archrivals Djurgårdens IF.[2] In the beginning he struggled for his new club, but after the new manager Per Olsson arrived Radetinac regained his form and was considered one of the best players in the league when he suffered an ACL injury which made him miss the second half of the 2015 Allsvenskan season.[3] On 10 May 2018 he played as Djurgården beat Malmö FF 3-0 in the Swedish Cup Final.[6]
International career
editThe Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team showed interest in Radetinac while he was playing for Mjällby and he was included in a preliminary squad of theirs but never picked for the final squad of an international game.[3]
