Club career

Early career

Born in Sarajevo, Sušić emigrated with his family early in his life to Belgium. He started training with the second-tier Visé, before moving to the youth side of Genk. At the age of 16, he moved to Standard Liège. In August 2010, he was called up to the Belgium under-19 side, featuring in two matches as a substitute, playing a friendly match for Standard Liège first team as well. Not breaking through, he continued playing for the team's youth sides.[4]

In February 2015, Sušić signed a new contract with Hajduk expiring in June 2018.[9]

On 7 August 2017 Sušić joined Maccabi Tel Aviv on a one-year loan deal in order to get more minutes.[14]

Antwerp

After falling to get regular first-team football, his loan spell at Maccabi Tel Aviv was ended in January 2018.
