Having been a well-known talent in his teenage years, Trajković made his professional debut forHajduk Kula at the age of 16 in 2005. From 2005 to 2007 he was loaned out to lower-tier teamsRadnički Sombor andPOFK Kula.

On 11 January 2014, after turning down a lucrative offer fromAntalyaspor, Trajković signed withPartizan, where he was re-united with coachMarko Nikolić who had previously coached FK Vojvodina. The transfer was just one part of a large controversy on Vojvodina's winter transactions to Partizan in 2014, which caused uproar and severe criticism of football fans and sports journalists.[6][7]
After being without a club for a year, Trajković signed withZemun on the last day of the summer transfer window 2017 as a single player.[8] He made his debut againstRed Star Belgrade on 29 October.[9] On 5 March 2018, it was announced Trajković earned a leg fracture in a match played two days before.
