Born in General Baldissera but raised in Cruz Alta, Vojvoda joined Newell's Old Boys' youth setup at the age of 14. [1] He made his senior debut with the main squad in 1995, and went on to feature regularly in the following seven seasons, never establishing himself as a regular starter.

In 2002 Vojvoda moved abroad, after signing for Segunda División side SD Compostela on loan for one year. [2] He stayed in the country for the following six seasons, representing Algeciras CF, [3] Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa [4] and CD Baza. [5]

Vojvoda returned to his home country on 15 July 2009, joining Tiro Federal of the Primera B Nacional. [6] He subsequently played for Sportivo Belgrano [7] and Sarmiento de Leones, [8] retiring with the latter in 2013 at the age of 38.
