Club career

edit

Hadžić joined the youth sector of Bayern Munich in 2013 from 1. FC Nürnberg. For the 2017/18 season he moved to VfB Stuttgart.[3] In June 2018 he completed a trial with the Austrian Football Bundesliga club SCR Altach, but was not signed.[4]

In August 2018 he moved to Hannover 96, where he was registered for the clubs reserve team.[5] Hadžić made his professional debut for Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga on 19 December 2018, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute for Hendrik Weydandt in the 1–1 away draw against SC Freiburg.[6] By the end of the season he made three appearances in the Bundesliga and 25 for the Regionalliga team.[citation needed]

In the 2019–20 season he was only used for the reserve team and therefore, he moved to the Austrian second division club Austria Klagenfurt in February 2020, with whom he received a contract that ran until June 2022.[7]
