Club career

Smajić was a very creative midfielder whose career began in NK Iskra Bugojno, there he was spotted by HŠK Zrinjski Mostar who he joined in 2001. In 2003 he was transferred to Iskra on a season long loan.[1] After coming back from his loan, he managed to win the championship title with Zrinjski in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2005 and three years later, in 2008, the Bosnian Cup. After seven years at Zrinjski, he left the club and joined FCV Dender in the summer of 2008.[2]

On 7 July 2009, Lokeren then signed Smajić from Dender on a three-year deal. In 2011, Smajić signed with Bosnian cup winners FK Željezničar Sarajevo.[3] During his time with Željezničar, he won two Premier League titles and one cup. In June 2013, he joined FK Olimpik.[4] He won the Bosnian Cup with Olimpik in 2015.

In 2016, Smajić left Olimpik and joined NK Metalleghe-BSI.[5] In January 2019, Smajić decided to end his football career while at Metalleghe.
