Club career

Born in Kruševac, Zajić came through the youth system of his hometown club Napredak, making his first team debut in 1998. He was transferred to Obilić in the summer of 2001. Zajić made 110 league appearances and scored 10 goals for the Knights, before leaving the club in the 2006 winter transfer window, due to the club's financial problems. He subsequently joined BASK, playing in the second tier until the end of the 2005–06 season.

In August 2007, Zajić moved to Norwegian club Vålerenga, on an initial three-month loan.[2] He made seven league appearances and scored once until the end of the season, before signing a permanent contract with the club. In the following years, Zajić became one of the team's most important players, making 170 competitive appearances and scoring 37 goals.

On 6 January 2014, Zajić signed a two-year contract with Sarpsborg 08.[3] He was the club's top scorer in the following two seasons (2014 and 2015). On 18 January 2016, Zajić signed a two-year contract with Sandnes Ulf.[4]
