In February 2014, Vranješ was transferred from Vojvodina to Polish club Lechia Gdańsk for 200,000 Euros.[6] After impressing at Lechia, scoring 16 goals in 52 appearances, he was transferred to Legia Warsaw on 29 August 2015.[7] While at Legia, Vranješ won both the Ekstraklasa and Polish Cup in 2016.[8] On 9 January 2017, shortly after leaving Legia, he signed a contract with Piast Gliwice.[9] On 15 January 2018, Vranješ left the club after not having enough playing time in that season.[10] Both sides said they are on good terms still to this day.
