Club career
Čavušević moved to St. Gallen after playing three seasons for Wil 1900 in the Swiss Challenge League.[1] In July 2016 he signed a two-year contract with FC Zürich.[2] In December 2017 the contract was terminated by mutual consent.
On 6 February 2018, Čavušević joined Australian club Adelaide United until the end of the season.[3] Not long into his time at Adelaide, he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). He was released at the end of the season[4] and subsequently retired from professional football.
International career
Čavušević made his debut for Slovenia in an October 2012 World Cup qualification match away against Albania, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for Zlatko Dedić, and earned a total of two caps, scoring no goals. His second and final international was a November 2014 friendly match against Colombia.[5]
