He moved to Železnik in 2000 and later also played with Sremčica, Srem, Radnički Beograd and Bežanija.[https://dekisa.tripod.com/prelazniroksever03_2.htm 2003/04 winter transfer window in the Second League of Serbia and Montenegro Group North] He experienced all the first, second, and third division of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro, and also became the best player and the top goalscorer of the third division while playing for Sremčica.
=FC Seoul=
Damjanović signed a contract with FC Seoul on 7 December 2007.{{Cite news |url=http://m.fcseoul.com/mobile/news_tv/fcnews_view.jsp?seq=998&tcd=news&pg=178 |script-title=ko:‘세르비아 슈퍼 특급’데얀, 귀네슈호 합류! |language=ko |publisher=FC Seoul |date=7 December 2007 |access-date=7 September 2015 |archive-date=12 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112225137/http://m.fcseoul.com/mobile/news_tv/fcnews_view.jsp?seq=998&tcd=news&pg=178 |url-status=dead }} He was the second highest scorer in 2007, 2008 and 2009 K League. With 23 goals for Seoul in 2011 season, he was crowned the league's top scorer. In July 2009, he managed to score two goals against Manchester United in United's Asian tour. However, FC Seoul lost 3–2, United's goals being scored by Wayne Rooney, Federico Macheda and Dimitar Berbatov.{{Cite news|url=http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=139&oid=021&aid=0002001415 |script-title=ko:FC서울 데얀의 발 '맨유 문' 뚫었다|language=ko |publisher=Munhwa Ilbo|date=25 July 2009}}
In January 2012, Chinese Super League club Guangzhou R&F offered $5 million to FC Seoul for Damjanović, but it was rejected by Seoul. In the first match of the 2012 K League, Damjanović was substituted out after 22 minutes against Daegu FC. It had been speculated that the FC Seoul manager, Choi Yong-soo, and Damjanović had a rift. Damjanović wanted to leave but FC Seoul would not let him. However, as time went on, FC Seoul issued an official statement by Choi saying there was no tension between the two. Damjanović scored his 100th career goal with FC Seoul from a penalty goal, along with the 101st in the same match over a 3–1 win against his former club Incheon United on 28 May 2012. On 25 July 2012, he became the top foreign goalscorer in the history of the K League by scoring his 105th goal in the match against Daejeon Citizen. The previous record holder is Saša Drakulić who made 104 goals in K League. Afterwards, he scored 31 goals in 40 appearances, thus breaking the record held by Kim Do-hoon in 2002. He finished the 2012 season with many accolades and records broken. He won the league with FC Seoul as well as becoming the Most Valuable Player, top goalscorer, and one of the Best XI. In January 2013, IFFHS ranked Damjanović seventh in the world for most goals in a top-division league during a year.{{cite web |url=http://www.iffhs.de/?d85f94e8378cf047b0f02f68e05b85fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeedb8a38820a|title=IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics) |publisher=IFFHS |access-date=3 April 2017}}
