Dragan Ćeran (Serbian Cyrillic: Драган Ћеран; born 6 October 1987) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Uzbekistan Super League club Nasaf. He started his career with Smederevo in the Serbian SuperLiga.[1]

Career

[edit]

In August 2013, Ćeran signed for Azerbaijan Premier League side Simurq.[2] Ćeran made his debut for Simurq in their second game of the season, away to Khazar Lankaran on 11 August 2013, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Salif Ballo.[3] Ćeran's first goal for Simurq came in the 78th minute of their 2–1 victory against Inter Baku on 1 September 2013.[4] Ćeran signed a new one-year contract with Simurq on 31 May 2014, turning down offers from Dordrecht, Levadiakos and Viborg FF.[5]

In 2016 he moved to Uzbekistan, where he first played for the Nasaf, and in the middle of the 2018 season he moved to the capital Pakhtakor, where he later became the leader of the team's attacks.

In 2019, he became the top scorer of the championship of Uzbekistan, scoring 23 goals,[6] and was also recognized as the best football player of the Uzbekistan Super League.[7]

On 22 January 2025, Nasaf announced the return of Ćeran.[8]
