He spent two seasons with the team, scoring 21 goals in 42 league appearances. After a brief spell with fellow Jia-A side Beijing Guoan, Ranković returned to his homeland and rejoined his former club Obilić.[1]
In late 2003, Ranković moved to China for the second time and played for Jia-B League club Nanjing Yoyo. He later spent one season with newly promoted First League of Serbia and Montenegro side Hajduk Beograd. In early 2006, Ranković joined Second League club Radnički Pirot led by manager Marjan Živković, his former Obilić teammate. He retired from the game after playing for Kolubara in the Serbian League Belgrade.
