Milos Ninkovic arrived in July 2015 as the Sky Blues third visa player to boost the club's midfield stocks, with the Serbian adept as both an attacking and central midfielder. Born in Belgrade, Ninkovic progressed through the FK Cukaricki Academy before being signed in 2004, at the age of 19, for Dynamo Kyiv. He made 109 appearances for Kyiv over a nine year spell before enjoying season long deals at Red Star Belgrade and most recently Evian in the French Ligue 1. Ninkovic represented Serbia at international level from 2009 until 2012 and was a member of the starting XI squad that faced both Germany and Australia at the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Following a stellar Hyundai A-League 2016/17 season where the Sky Blues claimed the Premiership & Championship double, Milos Ninkovic was voted the best player in the league, claiming the Johnny Warren Medal, along with the Sydney FC Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year and Members' Player of the Year award. Ninkovic backed up his Premiership and Championship double with another Premiership medal and a FFA Cup winners medal in 2017/18.
