Club career

edit

Born in Banja Luka, then already capital of Republika Srpska, Dejanović played with youth categories of biggest local club FK Borac Banja Luka.[1] His talent was spotted in Serbia by none less than FK Rad which sent him to their youth academy known as one of the best in the region. Shortly after he joined the main team.[2] He started his senior career with Srem Jakovo, as a loaned player of FK Rad.[3]

Dejanović spent a period between 2014 and 2015 playing with Žarkovo, where he also appeared as a loaned player.[3] In April 2015, Dejanović signed his first professional contract with FK Rad.[4] He made his Serbian SuperLiga debut in 29th fixture of the 2014–15 season.[5] After Boris Radunović's departure, Dejanović started 2015–16 season as a first choice in front of goal, so he changed his squad number and took the number 1.

Later, during the season, Rad signed Miloš Budaković and Nenad Filipović, so Dejanović made just 10 league and 1 cup appearances. He returned in the starting squad for the 4th fixture match of the 2016–17 Serbian SuperLiga, against Radnik Surdulica.[6] He played 9 matches between August and October 2016, but later missed the rest of first half-season because of back surgery.[7] With the end of May 2018, Dejanović mutually terminated a contract with Rad, and left the club as a free agent.[8]
