Born in Negotin, he started training when he was 7 years old, with his father Saša, who is also a former goalkeeper of Hajduk Veljko. He was with his hometown club until 2009, when he moved to Jagodina. For next 4 years, he played for youth teams of Jagodina, and was with first team since 2011–12 season, and was licensed with jersey number 45. For new season, Bondžulić changed his squad number to 11 again, so Rajković took 1. Although Bondžulić was the first choice, Rajković mainly was his reserve in front of competitors Petar Jokić and Stevica Zdravković. He made his professional debut for Jagodina on 9 March 2013, in Serbian SuperLiga match versus Partizan. Until the end of 2012–13 season, he made one more match against Smederevo. After Bondžulić's departure, Anđelko Đuričić joined to Jagodina. After first fixture and lost of Napredak Kruševac, Mladen Dodić decided to give a chanse to Rajković as a first choice, because of his merits in winning 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. But, after 2 appearances in new season, Rajković left to Red Star Belgrade. Jagodina should receive 30 percent of his next transfer.

Club management decided to sign more experienced goalkeeper, and Damir Kahriman signed with Red Star. But because of administrative problems he could not perform at the beginning of season, so Rajković started season as a first choice. After Milijaš's departure, Mijailović's suspension, Luković's injury, and Lazović's conflict with management, coach Nenad Lalatović decided to give the captain's armband to Rajković. He had 16 clean sheets on 28 league appearances, and was selected as the best goalkeeper in 2014–15 season, by the players choice.

Milan. Crvena zvezda captain was also a top target for Paris Saint Germain along with Kevin Trapp, who signed for Les Parisiens at the end. Rajković was the best member in team during both matches against Kairat in first qualifying round for the Europa League. Rajković kept team from suffering a harder loss with some incredible saves.
