Club Career

He was promoted to Partizan first team squad under manager Miroslav Dukic, making his debut in a 1–0 home league win over Vojvodina on 22 April 2007. Until the end of the 2006–07 season, Obradovic recorded four more appearances. He subsequently signed his first professional contract with Partizan, on 7 June 2007, penning a five-year deal. In the following two seasons, Obradovic established himself as a first team regular and helped Partizan win two domestic doubles. He made a total of 55 league appearances for the club, scoring his only goal against Javor Ivanjica on 23 August 2009, the game ended 1–1.

He was still allowed to play for Partizan the following Thursday, against Slovak side MSK Zilina in the UEFA Europa League play-off round. During his four years at La Romareda, Obradovic struggled with knee injuries that caused him to miss numerous games. He ultimately managed to collect a total of 48 appearances in all competitions. In August 2013, one year before expiration of his contract, Obradovic was released by mutual consent.

After leaving Zaragoza, Obradovic returned to Serbia and trained with top flight club Rad. He also spent some time on trial at Dutch club Vitesse in early 2014, but failed to get a contract. In March 2014, Obradovic eventually signed for Belgian side Mechelen until the end of the season, with an option for another one.
