Career
He started playing in his hometown club FK Novi Pazar and after only one season competing as senior, got an invitation to play for the giants FK Partizan. As a very solid defender, sometimes too hard on some opponents, he soon won the respect and the harts of the club most loyal fans, the Grobari. Also known for his simplicity and humor, there were many anecdotes built around him, but mostly for his courage and for giving it all at the field, he started to have the crowd chanting songs to him, and even today the phrase "Jedan je Bajro", meaning "Bajro, the one..." is actual.
In 1990, after having played 247 official matches for Partizan, he moved to Austrian club DSV Alpine Donawitz where he played the 1990-91 season.
After retiring from playing, he has dedicated working with FK Novi Pazar at many levels.[2]
