Club career

On 10 July 2020, Gogić signed a two-year contract with Hibernian.[7]
On 31 January 2022, Gogić joined St Mirren, on loan for the rest of the season.[8] He scored on his debut for St Mirren, a 1–1 draw with Motherwell on 1 February.[9] He was released by Hibs in June 2022, at the end of his contract.[10] In August 2022 he signed a two-year contract with St Mirren.[11] In May 2024 Gogić signed a three–year extension to his contract.[12]
