Born in Jajce, Sejdić started playing football for the youth side of Elektrobosna Jajce.[1] In 1976, he joined Yugoslav First League side FK Borac Banja Luka. After four years with Borac Banja Luka, he moved to NK Olimpija Ljubljana for two seasons.

He transferred to Galatasaray S.K. during the 1981–82 season, playing two seasons with the club in the Süper Lig. He scored twice in the club's 1982–83 European Cup Winners' Cup second round loss to FK Austria Wien.[2] Stints with Süper Lig rivals Bursaspor and Altay S.K. followed.
