Coming from the island of Pag, Datković went through the ranks of Novalja, before moving to Rijeka, where, after six months at the lower-tier side Lokomotiva, he joined the Rijeka academy. Raising through the ranks, he became the U19 team's captain.[4]
Datković never made his Prva HNL debut for HNK Rijeka, however, as he was sent on a loan to the Druga HNL side NK Pomorac Kostrena, where he remained for 2 years,[5] until his contract expired. In the summer of 2014, he joined the Slovenian PrvaLiga side NK Zavrč, where he played 52 league games and scored three goals. He joined Koper in January 2016.[6]
Datković moved abroad on 2 September 2019, joining Segunda División side Huesca on a one-year loan deal.[7]
On 18 August 2020, he signed a three-year contract with Aris.[8] After featuring rarely, he returned to Spain and its second division on 10 January 2021, after agreeing to a loan deal with FC Cartagena until the end of the season.[9]
On 2 June 2021, Datković signed with Major League Soccer side Real Salt Lake on a two-year deal.[10] The following 18 January, he returned to Cartagena after agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year contract.[11]
He made his debut for Croatia in a January 2017 China Cup match against China, his sole international appearance to date.[12]
Datković is the son of the football coach Ivica Datković, his brother Marin is also a professional football player.[13]
