Nikola Vujadinović (Cyrillic: Никола Вујадиновић, born 31 July 1986) is a Montenegrin footballer who plays as a central defender for Sabah in the Azerbaijan Premier League.
Vujadinović also holds a Serbian and Bulgarian passport (and consequently EU citizenship) due to his grandfather being a Bulgarian.[3] On international level, Vujadinović opted to play for Montenegrin national team.
Career
Vujadinović started his career at Red Star Belgrade.[1] He later played for FK Rad, FK Zeta, and FK Radnički Pirot.
In May 2007, Vujadinović moved to CSKA Sofia on a free transfer, agreeing a three-year contract with the Bulgarian Premier League side.[4] He appeared in 24 matches for the club, scoring once.
In August 2008, Udinese announced that they had secured the services of Vujadinović for a reported €1 million.[5] He agreed a five-year contract with the Serie A club.[5][6]
In September 2009, Vujadinović was loaned by Udinese to Unirea Alba Iulia of Romania.[7][8][9] For the 2010–11 season, he was loaned to Scottish Premier League club Aberdeen.[5] Mainly a replacement for Richard Foster, he had their initial application for a work permit rejected,[5] which was later granted after an appeal.[10]
On 15 January 2011, Vujadinović's loan was extended until the end of the season.[11] Under managers Mark McGhee and then Craig Brown, he made 18 league appearances and also represented the club in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.[12] His loan to Aberdeen expired at the end of the 2010–11 season.[13]
During the winter break of the 2011–12 season, Vujadinović moved from Italy back to Serbia to play on loan with the SuperLiga side FK Javor Ivanjica.[14]
On 24 June 2012, Vujadinović left Udinese and joined SK Sturm Graz on a two-year contract.[15] He left the club in June 2014 despite appearing regularly.
On 31 October 2014, Vujadinović signed a one-year deal with CA Osasuna in Spanish Segunda División, mainly as a replacement to injured Jordan Lotiès.[16]
On 16 July 2015, Vujadinović transferred to China League One side Beijing BG.[17]
On 7 July 2017 he signed a two-year contract with Polish club Lech Poznań.[18] He debuted on 27 July 2017 during the UEFA Europa League away game against Utrecht.[19]
On 11 October 2019, Slovenian side NK Domžale announced that they signed with Vujadinović until the end of the 2019–20 season.[1]
