Club career[]

Early career[]

He passed through all categories of Vojvodina. Later, he played for the lower-ranked clubs, where he was a very effective. In summer of 2013, he signed for Jagodina, together with Aleksandar Pešić.[1] He debut for Jagodina in last fixture of half-season Jelen SuperLiga versus Radnički Kragujevac. Coach gave a chance to him in last minutes.[2]

Besëlidhja Lezhë[]

In January 2015, Bajić was transferred in Albania, signing a contract until the end of the season with Albanian First Division side Besëlidhja Lezhë.[3] He was allocated squad number 9 and made his competitive debut with the club on 7 February in a goalless draw against Tërbuni Pukë.[4] He endured a 292-minute scoreless run before scoring the first goal in his fourth appearance on 4 March, where he netted the second of the 2–0 home win against Iliria Fushë-Krujë.[5]

However that goal was to open the floodgates of the strikers scoring in Albanian First Division, including three strikers in April against Besa Kavajë,[6] Kamza,[7] and Iliria Fushë-Krujë.[8] On 2 May, Bajić scored the quickest goal in Albanian First Division history, finding the net after just 36 seconds to help the team to beat Adriatiku Mamurras 1–0 in the matchday 25.[9]

In the penultimate week of the season Bajić scored a brace in a 5–0 home win against Veleçiku Koplik,[10] and finished the second part of the season with 7 goal in 13 appearances. The team finished second in the Group A, failing to secure a spot in Albanian Superliga next season.[11]

Following the end of the season, Bajić agreed a contract extension, signing until June 2016.[12] He started his second season with the club on strong fashion, scoring a hat-trick in matchday 3 against Besa Kavajë for a 4–0 home win, helping the team to take the lead of the league.[13] He enjoyed a prolific form in the first months of the season, scoring the winner against the rivals of Kastrioti Krujë for a 2–1 win in the returning leg of 2015–16 Albanian Cup first round, as the team were eliminated by away goal rule, losing the first match 1–0.[14] Back in league, Bajić scored two more in a 4–0 triumph against Adriatiku Mamurras, taking his tally up to 5 goals.[15]

He started the 2016 in style, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–0 home win against Kazma in the matchday 15.[16] In March, Bajić scored two braces in the 4–0 victories against Ada Velipojë on 6th and 19th.[17][18] In the penultimate week of the season, Bajić made history by scoring all six goals of his team in a 6–7 home defeat to Adriatiku Mamurras, taking his tally up to 23 goals.[19] With 23 league goals, Bajić clinched the Golden Boot as the league top goalscorer, scoring one more than Erzeni Shijak's Ermir Rezi.[20] Besëlidhja Lezhë once again failed to secure a spot in Albanian Superliga for the next season.[20]

Bajić kicked off his third Besëlidhja Lezhë season on 24 September 2016 by playing full-90 minutes in a 0–1 win at Besa Kavajë.[21] He also played in the two-legged tie against Erzeni valid for the first round of Albanian Cup, scoring in the second leg to help Besëlidhja progress to the next round with the aggregate 5–3.[22] He netted his first league strike of the season on 12 October in the 2–3 win against Erzeni, scoring the third of the match.[23] Ten days later, Bajić was again on target, scoring the lone goal in the last moments of the match against Kastrioti Krujë, lifting his team in the second position.[24]
