Club career

Born in Banja Luka, SFR Yugoslavia, present day Bosnia and Herzegovina[1] Janičić started playing as a senior with Mogren in the 2004–05 Second League of Serbia and Montenegro season. He played with Mogren a total of 7 seasons, until 2011, having played the last five already with Mogren competing in the separate Montenegrin First League.

After winning the Montenegrin championship for the second time, in the summer of 2011, Janičić moved to Serbia and joined First League side Bežanija, but after only 6 months, during the 2011–12 winter break, he moved to Napredak Kruševac. In the 2012–13 Serbian First League season, Napredak finished top, and thus won promotion to the Serbian SuperLiga.[2]

After Napredak, Janičić played for Lokomotiv Tashkent in Uzbekistan from 2015 to 2017 where he won the Uzbekistan Super League once, the Uzbekistan Cup once and the Uzbekistan Super Cup once. He left Lokomotiv Tashkent for Borac Čačak and then he played for hometown club Borac Banja Luka and Luftëtari.

In January 2019, Janičić came back to Borac.[3] In the 2018–19 First league of RS season, with Borac, he won the league title and got promoted back to the Bosnian Premier League.[4] He fell out with coach Vlado Jagodić in September 2020 and was suspended by the club for two matches.[5]
