Marko Ljubinković (Serbian Cyrillic: Mapкo Љубинковић ;born December 7, 1981 in Belgrade) is a Serbian football who plays for Vojvodina.

Previously, he had a contract with SC Vaslui, a team from Romanian Liga 1. He made his debut in Romanian first League on 29 July 2006, in a 0-0 draw between SC Vaslui and Universitatea Craiova.

Career

He started his career at Red Star Belgrad youth, but he did not play for the team. In 2000, Radnički Kragujevac bought him, and he stayed there for almost three years. He spent 6 years in the second Division in Serbia.

In 2006, he was bought by SC Vaslui, with the incredible sum of $50,000. He was first a defensive midfielder, and he scored only 2 goals in the 2006/2007 season. However, Mircea Rednic wanted him at his team, offering 1.5 million, for Marko Ljubinkovic and Stefan Mardare, but Adrian Porumboiu rejected the ofert. In the next season, Dorinel Munteanu took Marko's role in the field, letting him a free role. He scored in the opening match, a 2-2 draw against UTA Arad. He was also, the first player who scored in the new championship. In the second game of the season, he failed to score, but he was one of the most dangerous SC Vaslui player in the 2-0 win against the current champions Dinamo Bucureşti. From the 3rd until the 11th game, he scored each game, being able to be in the front of the goalscorers. In the winter break, RC Lens, Lokomotiv Moskva and Newcastle United were interested in the player, but Adrian Porumboiu rejected all the offers. In the first game of the 2008, he scored again against Dacia Mioveni, in a 3-0 win. He scored the 100th goal for FC Vaslui in Liga I, in a 3-0 victory against Poli Timisoara. He finished on the 3rd position of the top-scorers, with 16 goals. In the new season, he scored at the first game, against Steaua, in a 1-0 win. On 21 March 2009, he scored a goal from almost 35 m against Farul. He has scored, at the moment, only 6 goals, in the new season. In the 2009/2010, after a conflict with Marius Lacatus, he was sent to the second team, but he did not played. In the summer, 2010 he managed to release his contract with SC Vaslui. After brief spells with Serbian side Sloboda Point Sevojno and Cypriots Αnorthosis, at the end of August 2011 he signed a two year deal with another Serbian SuperLiga side FK Vojvodina.
