Club career

Born in Belgrade, Baranin came through the youth ranks of Železnik, before making his senior debut with Dorćol in the 2003–04 season. He also played for Beograd from 2005 to 2007. In the summer of 2009, Baranin signed with Bežanija. He spent two seasons at the club, before moving abroad and joining Azerbaijani club Gabala in the summer of 2009. After three seasons there, Baranin switched to fellow Premier League club Kapaz in the summer of 2012. He left the club after only two months, before returning to his homeland to play with Novi Pazar in the top flight of Serbian football.

In the summer of 2013, Baranin returned to his former club Bežanija. He spent one season there, before moving to Radnik Surdulica in July 2014. In his first season with the club, Baranin helped them win promotion to the nation's top flight for the first time in the club's history. He again moved abroad in October 2015, penning a one-year contract plus a one-year option with Kuantan FA in Malaysia.[3]

International career

In late 2007, after previously being called up to the squad on one occasion, Baranin made one appearance as a substitute for the Serbia U-21.[4]

gollark: I have resigned myself to relative-to-some-people mediocrity.
gollark: ... no you don't?
gollark: If you want to actually have a cool, novel, original idea, it probably needs to be in some area you specialize in and not just some random idea from soneone else.
gollark: I don't think that's how it works.
gollark: There's lots of... selection bias?
