Club career[]

Early career[]

Sadiković began his football career at Radnik Hadžići, before leaving for Željezničar in August 2012 where he joined the youth team.

Željezničar[]

While Sadiković was still a part of the Željezničar youth team, he was called up to the first team in January 2013. That year in May, he won the 2012–13 Bosnian Premier League.

Sadiković made 64 league appearances and scored 6 goals during his period playing for Željezničar.

Loan to Krško[]

While at Željezničar, Sadiković was loaned out to Krško for the 2016–17 Slovenian PrvaLiga season.[1]

Leaving Željezničar[]

After his loan ended, Sadiković went back to Željezničar, but shortly after left the club. He was one of the most technically gifted players at Željezničar at the time.

Mladost Doboj Kakanj[]

On 25 September 2017, Sadiković signed a one-year deal contract with the possibility of an extension for one more year with Mladost Doboj Kakanj.[2] He left Mladost on 14 February 2019 so that he could join Željezničar.[3]

Return to Željezničar[]

On 15 February 2019, one day after leaving Mladost, Sadiković returned and signed a one-and-a-half year contract, with a possibility of an extension for one more year with Željezničar.[4]

Sadiković made his first appearance since returning to Željezničar on 24 February 2019, in a 1–0 loss to Radnik Bijeljina, coming in as a 82nd minute substitute for Haris Hajdarević.[5] He scored his first goal in his second spell with the club on 20 April 2019 in a 3–0 home win against Krupa.[6]

On 10 August 2019, he made his 100th appearance for Željezničar in a 2–0 away league win against Čelik Zenica, in which he made an assist and was one of the best players of the game.[7][8]

On 24 August 2020, it was confirmed that Sadiković, alongside five other teammates tested positive for COVID-19, amid its pandemic in Bosnia and Herzegovina;[9] by 7 September, he recovered.[10]

On 5 October 2020, Sadiković signed a three-year contract with Polish Ekstraklasa club Cracovia for a €200.000 transfer fee.[11] He made his debut for Cracovia in the 2020 Polish SuperCup triumph against Legia Warsaw on 9 October 2020.[12]
