Club career
Jokić made his senior debut in 2003 with local club Triglav Kranj, and moved to Gorica in 2005. He appeared regularly for the side during his two-year spell, also being a part of the squad which was crowned champions in the 2005–06 campaign.

On 5 July 2007, Jokić moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a four-year deal with Ligue 1 club Sochaux. He made his debut in the competition on 11 August, starting in a 3–1 home loss against Le Mans.

On 30 January 2010, Jokić joined Chievo on loan until June. On 22 May, after appearing regularly, he joined the Gialloblu permanently.

On 5 July 2013, Jokić moved to La Liga side Villarreal, signing a four-year deal with the club, after his link with Chievo expired. He made his debut in the competition on 29 September, starting in a 1–0 loss at Real Betis.
