Mirosevic started his football career at Universidad Católica, one of the 3 big teams in Chile. He was the star player in the team that won the Apertura tournament in 2002 under the former Chile National team coach Juvenal Olmos. After the great 2002 season he was transferred to Racing Club in Argentina were he had some very good and consistent seasons, and others where his level was more inconsistent.
