Miloš Kocić (Serbian Cyrillic: Mилoш Koцић; born June 4, 1985) is a retired Serbian footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Kocić was born in Yugoslavia prior to the country's break-up. He began playing soccer in the Serbian League East, and was part of the youth system of his home town team Dubočica Leskovac before coming to the United States in 2005.
He played college soccer at St. John's University and at Loyola College in Maryland. Kocic red-shirted during his first year in the US at St. John's before transferring to Loyola. At Loyola, he struggled at first - in 2006, he was the second goalkeeper and only found time in two matches the entire season. However, he made great strides the next two years and in 2008 (his final season at Loyola) he was named First Team All-MAAC as well as being named to the All-North Atlantic Regional Team and the All-American second team.
Kocić was drafted in the second round (21st overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by D.C. United, but did not sign with the team immediately; after several offers with clubs in his native Serbia, including Red Star Belgrade, he eventually decided to sign a developmental contract with Major League Soccer.
Kocić made his professional debut for DC on April 22, 2009, in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against FC Dallas. He made his MLS debut the following week, on May 2, 2009, also against FC Dallas.
Following the 2009 season, Kocić was released by United and was initially without a team after a failed trial with Toronto FC until a second trial period, after which the club ended up signing him for the 2010 season. He made his debut for Toronto in the Canadian Championship against the Vancouver Whitecaps June 2, 2010.
