Born in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos to a Serbian father, Stojković joined Sporting CP's youth system in 2007, aged 10. On 21 February 2016 he made his professional debut, appearing for the reserves in a 1–1 home draw against S.C. Freamunde in the Segunda Liga.[2]
Stojković played with the newly created under-23 team in the 2018–19 season, following which he left the club.[3] On 10 August 2019, he signed a one-year contract with G.D. Estoril Praia also of the Portuguese second division.[4] Only used in the under-23s, on 1 September the next year he transferred to hometown side Leixões S.C. where he had begun playing football aged 7.[5]
On 28 January 2021, free agent Stojković joined Académica de Coimbra also of the Portuguese second tier, on a five-month deal.[6] On 5 July 2022, after his team's relegation, he agreed to a contract at Al-Okhdood Club in the Saudi First Division League.[7][8]
Stojković was capped once by Portugal at under-18 level. His appearance was a 2–0 win over the United States in Mafra on 8 June 2014.[9]
Stojković's father and uncle, respectively named Vladan and Vladimir, were also goalkeepers. Both spent several years in Portugal, and the latter was also a longtime Serbian international.[10]
