Club career edit

Early career edit

Vujović began his career in 2003 in the Belgrade Zone League with FK IMT.[1] He played in the Serbian First League in 2008 with FK Sevojno.[2] In his second season with Sevojno, he assisted the club in reaching the 2008–09 Serbian Cup final where they were defeated by FK Partizan.[3] Their appearance in the cup final guaranteed the club a spot in the Europa League.[3] Throughout the tournament, Sevojno also faced Red Star Belgrade in the semifinal where Vujović contributed a goal that advanced the club to the finals.[4]

He would participate in all four matches during the club's run in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League against FBK Kaunas, and Lille.[5][6] Vujović would contribute a goal against Kaunas that advanced the club to the next round where they were eliminated from the competition by Lille.[5][6][7]

Serbian Superliga edit

The following season, the club merged with Sloboda Užice and secured promotion to the Serbian top-tier league.[8][9] In his debut season in the Serbian first division, he appeared in 7 matches.[10]

After a three-year tenure with the Sloboda organization, he was transferred to league rivals Jagodina during the 2011 summer transfer market.[11] For the remainder of the 2011-12 season, he played with Metalac Gornji Milanovac.[12][13] His final season in the Serbian top division occurred during the 2012-13 season with Novi Pazar.[14][15][16]

Vujović returned to the second division where he played with FK Timok during the 2013-14 season.[17] He would also have stints with Bežanija and Sloga Kraljevo.[18][10]

Canada edit

In the summer of 2015, he ventured abroad for a season to play in the Southern Ontario-based Canadian Soccer League with Burlington SC.[19][20] Vujović would record his first hat-trick for the club on 31 May 2015, against Toronto Croatia.[19] He would produce another hat-trick the following week against Niagara United.[21] He would finish the campaign as the club's top goal scorer with 12 goals from 18 games.[22][23] His efforts also helped Burlington in securing a postseason berth in the league's first division.[24] Burlington would be eliminated from the playoffs in the first round by the York Region Shooters.[25]

Later career edit

After a season in Canada, he returned to Serbia where he initially played in the third-tier league with Padinska Skela.[1] Following a season in the lower-tier leagues, he returned to the second division to sign with OFK Odžaci.[26] He would appear in 20 matches and recorded 1 goal for Odžaci.[10] His final run in the third division was with Šumadija Aranđelovac during the 2017-18 season.[1]

After a brief spell in Serbia, he returned to Canada for the 2018 season to sign with Milton SC in the CSL's second division.[27] In his debut season with Milton, he finished as the club's second-highest goal scorer with 5 goals.[28]
