Early career

Having been a well-known talent in his teenage years, Trajković made his professional debut for Hajduk Kula at the age of 16 in 2005. From 2005 to 2007 he was loaned out to lower-tier teams Radnički Sombor and POFK Kula.

Lazio.^[4] On 30 January 2013, despite an offer to sign for Udinese Calcio, Trajković decided to stay with FK Vojvodina in an attempt to be the first captain to lead the team to win the Serbian Cup.^[5] In 2013, he began starting games as team captain with greater frequency.

Partizan

On 11 January 2014, after turning down a lucrative offer from Antalyaspor, Trajković signed with Partizan, where he was re-united with coach Marko Nikolić who had previously coached FK Vojvodina.
