Having previously played for AB, Brøndby and Randers at youth level, Rajović signed for B.93 in September 2018 following a trial spell at the club. He transferred to HB Køge on a contract until the end of the season in January 2019, but he was released when his contract expired at the end of the season, having made a single league appearance for the club. He joined Roskilde in summer 2019 and agreed a one-year contract with the club in September 2019.
Rajović signed for Næstved in January 2021. Having scored 12 goals in his opening 17 matches of the 2021–22 season, he signed a contract extension with the club in October 2021.

Having amassed 30 goals in 58 games for Næstved, Rajović signed for Allsvenskan club Kalmar FF on a three-and a half year deal on 9 December 2022. The fee received for Rajović was a new club record for Næstved according to their sporting director Peter Dinesen.
