Dević became the top scorer in the 2007–08 Ukrainian Premier League with 19 goals in 27 appearances. In 2013, he also became the first player to score a hat-trick for the Ukraine national football team in an official match. From 2006 to 2014, Dević played for FC Metalist Kharkiv in the Ukrainian Premier League with a brief stint in FC Shakhtar Donetsk for the 2012–13 season.
A naturalized Ukrainian citizen since 2008, Dević made his international debut for the country in 2008 and has since earned over 30 caps and scored 7 international goals. He was part of the Ukrainian squad which co-hosted UEFA Euro 2012.
Born in Belgrade (Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia), Dević started his career at his hometown club Zvezdara, making 14 appearances and scoring twice in two seasons with the club, in which they were both promoted to and later relegated from the top flight. He later played for Železnik, Radnički Beograd and Voždovac, all in Serbia. He spent just one year at each of the clubs. He scored three goals in 20 appearances for Železnik, including one goal in 19 league appearances and two goals in one cup match. He scored once in 16 appearances for Radnički, before joining Voždovac where he scored four times in 14 appearances. At the end of the season, Dević moved to Ukraine to play for Volyn Lutsk.
