Club career
Born in Travnik,[1] SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, back then part of Yugoslavia, Barić initially played with Croatia Sesvete[2] and NK Žminj[1] from where he moved to NK Karlovac in 2007, who at the time were playing in the Croatian Second League. He managed promotion with Karlovac to the Croatian First League in 2008 and played two more seasons with them in Croatian top level.[3]
During the winter-break of the 2010–11 season, he moved to Belgium where he joined K.A.A. Gent and played two years with them in Belgian First Division A.[4] At the winter-break of the 2012–13 season, he left Gent and returned to Croatia where he played the second half of the season with Slaven Belupo in the Croatian First League.[3] The following summer, he, along with his compatriot Matej Delač, joined Serbian SuperLiga side FK Vojvodina.[5] However, while Delač became the main goalkeeper, Barić played few games, none of which were in the league.[4] He was released by Vojvodina during the following winter-break[6] despite having initially signed a two-year contract.[2]
During the winter-break of 2013–14 season, both Barić and Delač left Vojvodina and joined FK Sarajevo,[4] Barić's first club in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He stayed with Sarajevo two years, where he made a total of 35 appearances in official games and scored one goal.[1] In the winter-break of the 2015–16 season, Barić moved to another Bosnian Premier League club, NK Vitez, where he played until the end of the season.[4]
In summer 2016 he signed with HŠK Zrinjski Mostar.[7] He was released by Zrinjski in October 2017.[8]
In 2018, Baric joined NK Dubrava[9] where he played until February 2019, when he then joined NK Zelina.[10]
