He returned to his parent club in early 2013, recording two appearances until the end of the season. He made his debut for Rad on 2 May 2013, in the league game that his club lost 1–0 against Vojvodina in Novi Sad. He played one more league match until the end of that season, and in the following 2013–14. He played in 17 league matches.

He moved on a season-long loan to Belgian side OH Leuven in July 2015, with an option for a permanent deal.[1] In the summer of 2016, he returned to Napredak, and in October of the same year, he extended his contract with the club from Kruševac. In the 2016–17 season. Urošević played 34 league matches for Napredak, and during the first half of the 2017–18 season. He made 14 more appearances in this competition.
On 11 January 2018, Urošević was transferred to Partizan on a four-year contract as the first choice of coach Miroslav Đukić.[2] Urošević made his debut on 15 February, in UEFA Europa League Round of 32 as he played full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Viktoria Plzeň. He found himself in the starting eleven in the return leg a week later and once again played a whole game, as Partizan was defeated 2–0 on Doosan Arena in Plzeň.[3][4] Urošević won Serbian Cup with Partizan as he made two appearances in the competition.
The following season Urošević played 23 league matches and won the Cup once again as he made five appearances in the competition. Urošević was in the Starting lineup for the final game that Partizan won 1–0 against fierce rival Red Star.[5] In the UEFA Europa League 2019–20 Group L Urošević played full 90 minutes in all six games against Manchester United, AZ Alkmaar and Astana. He netted his first goal for the club on 1 December 2019 in a 2–0 away victory over Mačva, Partizan had the initiative, but there were no real opportunities until the 70th minute, when Urošević scored a goal, after the ball bounced to him after a free kick.[6] Urošević failed to win his third Cup Trophy in a row as Partizan was defeated in the final by Vojvodina. [7]

Urošević scored a goal on 4 November 2021 in the fourth round of the UEFA Conference League against Gent. Urošević managed to create enough space for himself and fired at the ball. It was immediately clear from the trajectory where that shot would end, and the goalkeeper of the Belgian representative, Sinan Bolat, only managed to see it off with a glance.[8] In his fourth successive cup final, Urošević scored the equalizer in a 2–1 defeat against Red Star.[9]
