Čavrić made his senior debuts at Banat Zrenjanin, before switching to OFK Beograd in June 2012.[1] He was the club's top scorer with 11 league goals (from 30 appearances) in the 2013–14 season.

On 3 November 2022, Čavrić scored two decisive goals during UEFA Europa Conference League - Group H fixture at LFF Stadium versus Žalgiris Vilnius (2–1), which secured a Slovak club first advancemenet to European play-off rounds in 17 years, when Čavrić's then-manager Vladimír Weiss Sr. led Artmedia Petržalka in the UEFA Champions League.[5] Following the match, it was announced that Čavrić and Slovan began pursuing Slovak citizenship, which would make him eligible to represent Slovakia internationally.[6]
Čavrić represented Serbia at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship twice, winning the gold medal in 2013.[7] He subsequently went on to play for the Serbia U21s, taking part in both the 2015 and 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, as the team exited in the group stage.
