Nenad Milijas began his career climbing through the youth ranks at Belgrade-based FK Zemun before breaking into the first team in 2000. Solid performances for the club eventually attracted the attention of the biggest club in the country, Red Star Belgrade, whom he signed for in January 2006 and ended the season by winning both the Serbian Superliga and Serbian Cup. He achieved the same feat the next season. The 2008/09 season proved to be his most impressive for the club where he scored 22 goals, was named the league's Player of the Year as well as the Most Valuable Player and was voted into the All Star Team. He also made his international debut for the Serbian national side in September 2008. Milijas joined Wolves on 15 June 2009.
