Stefan Bajic

Saint-Étienne

Youth system

Bajić first joined Saint-Étienne at age six, gradually progressing through the club's youth teams, before finding himself at the under-17 level. His performances in the Championnat National U17 earned him his first international call-up for the France national under-16 football team.

2018–19 season

On 2 May 2018, Bajić signed his first professional contract, to the end of the 2020–21 season. On 8 April 2019, Bajić extended his contract for a further year. Bajić also led the club's U19 team through its Coupe Gambardella campaign, which ended with a 2–0 victory over Toulouse's U19 side in the Final on 27 April.

2019–20 season

After assistant coach Ghislain Printant took over from Gasset, Bajić became Saint-Étienne's third choice, surpassing Vermot. Bajić made his senior debut on 25 September 2019, with both Ruffier and Moulin suffering from minor injuries. The game against Metz resulted in Saint-Étienne's fourth defeat in five games, with a scoreline of 1–0. Bajić became the Greens' youngest-ever player to start a Ligue 1 match.

2020–21 season

Bajić played in the Coupe de France fixture for the round of 64 on 11 February, against Sochaux, as Moulin felt discomfort in his hamstring, which Saint-Étienne lost 1–0. After Moulin also contracted the disease and later injured his groin, Bajić played his first league game in over a year on 19 March; Saint-Étienne lost 4–0 to Monaco.
