Red Star Belgrade
Milovanović was a member of the talented 1984 generation, and was the first to become a first team player from that group. He made his debut for Red Star Belgrade on 17 November 2001 when he was 17. In that match Zvezda won against FK Zemun, the score finishing 2–0. He gathered the attention of the public on his debut, in a derby game against Partizan in which he worked his way past 3 players in fantastic style, scoring a goal that wrapped up the 3–0 victory.
Milovanović has played for the Red Star Belgrade first team since 2001 and he has been the captain of club since 2006.

Milovanović signed with newly promoted Serbian side FK Voždovac in August 2013.
