He signed his first professional contract with Borac Čačak in 2014, marking the start of his senior career at the club. His first-team debut came in July 2014 during the 2014–15 Serbian SuperLiga season, where he began to earn regular playing time as a promising talent from the club's academy.^[3] During the 2014–15 season, Jevtović contributed 1 goal in 22 league appearances, helping Borac Čačak maintain their position in the top flight.^[3] His breakthrough continued in the 2015–16 season with 21 appearances and 5 goals.^[3] Over his initial tenure from 2014 to 2016, Jevtović made 43 league appearances and scored 6 goals for Borac Čačak, playing a key role in the team's mid-table stability in the Serbian SuperLiga during a period of competitive domestic football.
