Club Career

Vojvodina

Born in Backi Jarak, Ivanic came through the youth academy of Vojvodina, before being loaned to Proleter Novi Sad in order to get senior football experience. He made 24 appearances and scored five goals in the 2012–13 Serbian First League. In the summer of 2013, Ivanic returned to Vojvodina, appearing in a 2–0 home win over Budapest Honved in the first leg of the Europa League second qualifying round. He was sent on loan again to Proleter Novi Sad, before returning to Vojvodina in the 2014 winter transfer window. Upon his return to the club, Ivanic played regularly under manager Branko Babic, helping his team win the 2013–14 Serbian Cup.

In the 2014–15 season, Ivanic became one of the team's most influential players, making 26 league appearances and scoring 10 goals, one less than Mijat Gacinovic. During the final days of the summer 2015 transfer window, Partizan offered Vojvodina €1.5 million for Ivanic, but Ivanic rejected it, as he insisted on refusing offers from Vojvodina's rivals Partizan and Red Star Belgrade.

BATE Borisov

On 2 February 2016, Ivanic signed a contract with BATE Borisov.

On 26 November 2017, in the last game of the season BATE Borisov were 3-2 down against FC Gorodeya, Mirko scored the last minute equaliser against them to make it 3-3 which was enough to see them win the league on goal difference against league rivals Dinamo Minsk.

During his three-year stint in Borisov, Ivanic won the league three times, as well as featuring in the Europa League group stage two seasons in a row.
