Career
Beginning
Subotić began his career at FC Basel in his adoptive country Switzerland.
Portsmouth
On 7 January 2008 he became English Premier League side Portsmouth F.C.'s first signing in the 2008 January transfer window.[3] He signed a reported 3½ year contract.
On 5 August 2008, Subotić moved on loan to Belgian club Zulte Waregem, the Portsmouth's feeder club at that time (which the relationship end in June 2009)[4] along with Andréa Mbuyi-Mutombo in order to gain valuable first-team experience. He scored 1 goal in 13 league appearances before returned to England in January 2009.[5]
On 7 August 2010, Italian Serie B side Grosseto announced Subotić was trying out at the club.[6] Nearly 2 weeks later, Pompey formally announced Subotić's contract was canceled in mutual consent.[7]
Universitatea Craiova
In February 2011, Danijel Subotić signed a contract with the Romanian club FC Universitatea Craiova of Liga 1.[8] On 20 March 2011, Danijel Subotić scored his first goal for FC Universitatea Craiova during the match against FC Astra Ploieşti.

Gabala
On 1 July 2013, Subotić signed a one-year contract with Azerbaijan Premier League side Gabala.[9] However Subotić could not feature in any of Gabala's opening five matches as there was a dispute over the players registration between Volyn Lutsk and Gabala, which was finally sorted out during the September International break.[9] Subotić made his debut, and scored his first goal, for Gabala on 15 September 2013 in a 2–1 away victory over AZAL. [10] On 19 February 2014, Subotić scored his tenth goal for Gabala in only his sixteenth game.[11]
