Club career

Kašnik started his career with Dravograd. When he was 14 years old, a serious knee injury prevented him from playing football for a year and a half. He fully recovered and moved to Olimpija Ljubljana after an initial trial, and signed a contract in August 2008.

He rarely played in his first season when Olimpija won the Slovenian second division title. During the summer of 2009 the majority of the experienced players left the club and Kašnik found himself in the first team.
