He entered as a substitute in the 67th minute in Cibalia’s away loss to NK Osijek, what proved to be the club's last top-tier match.[http://hrnogomet.com/hnl/utakmica.php?id=5716 HRnogomet] Although Cibalia was relegated to 2. HNL, Bajić stayed with the club during 2013–14 and the first half of 2014–15.{{fact|date=May 2019}}
