Born in Priboj, Pilica passed FK Partizan youth categories,[6] and made his first senior appearances playing with satellite club Teleoptik in the Serbian First League between 2010 and 2011.[7] In summer 2011, Pilica joined Slavija Sarajevo,[8] but after he made just one appearance in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina,[9] he left the club at the beginning of next year.[10] In 2013, Pilica moved back to Serbian side joining FK Kolubara.[2] He preliminary signed with OFK Beograd at the beginning of 2014,[11] but already stayed with Kolubara, scoring 4 goals on 22 matches in the Serbian League Belgrade for the 2013–14 season.[2] In summer 2015, Pilica permanently moved to Zlatibor Čajetina, along with teammate Miloš Nenadović,[12][13] scoring a goal on a debut match for new club, against Zadrugar Lajkovac.[14] Beside games in the Drina Zone League,[15] Pilica also played an OFS Užice cup match against FK Čajetina.[16] In the winter break off-season, Pilica returned to Kolubara, making 8 appearances with 1 goal for the rest of season in the Serbian First League.[9] In the last fixture match of the 2015–16 Serbian First League season, against Radnički Kragujevac, Pilica was substituted out from the field during the first-half.[17] Due to anterior cruciate ligament injury he earned on that match, he missed the greatest part of the next season.[18] He returned in the first-team squad for the 23 fixture match of the 2015–16 Serbian First League season, played on 23 April 2017 against Proleter Novi Sad, when he was also substituted out during the first-half.[19]
