Club career

Franjic joined the Melbourne Knights FC under 21 squad in 2009 after spending a number of years with the Victorian Institute of Sport. That year, he made his breakthrough into senior football, making six appearances for the first team in the Victorian Premier League in the first half of the season.

He was then picked up by A-League side Melbourne Victory FC, initially with the youth team. On 10 May 2010, he was signed to a two-year professional contract with Victory. On 9 January 2013, it was announced that Petar Franjic was released by mutual termination by Melbourne Victory to seek first team, playing opportunities.[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/melbournevictory/news-display/Petar-Franjic-released/57708 Petar Franjic Released] In his three seasons with the Victory, Franjic made 31 appearances in the league.{{cite web |url=http://www.ultimatealeague.com/player_detail.php?player_id=546 |title = Petar Franjic (Defender, Melbourne Victory) :: Ultimate A-League}}
