Vladan Kovačević

Vladan Kovačević of Norwich City was born in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina on 11 April 1998 (age 28).

Vladan Kovačević, born on 11 April 1998 (age 28), is a Serbian goalkeeper with Norwich City. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is valued at around £2.5m by Transfermarkt.

His career has been shaped most clearly by Rakow Czestochowa. Across three seasons in Poland, Kovačević made 84 league appearances, with 27 of them coming in 2021-22, his busiest league campaign there. That spell, rather than any passing stop elsewhere, is the one that gives his career its substance.

At Norwich City in 2026-27, he has made 10 appearances in all competitions, including eight in the Championship, one in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup. For now, his profile is that of an established professional goalkeeper whose strongest body of work remains his time at Rakow.
