Career
After starting out at his hometown club Radnički Kragujevac, Baković was transferred to ambitious OFK Beograd in the summer of 2002. He spent the following five seasons at Stara Karaburma, scoring 20 goals in 93 league games. He also made a string of appearances in European competitions, reaching the semi-finals of the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup.
In 2007, Baković moved abroad to Chinese club Shandong Luneng, but failed to make an impact. He also briefly played for Romania's Politehnica Iași and Ukraine's Naftovyk-Ukrnafta Okhtyrka, before returning to his parent club Radnički Kragujevac in early 2009.
