Saša Kajkut (Serbian Cyrillic: Саша Кајкут; born 7 July 1984) is a Bosnian retired professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career

As a teenager, Kajkut played for hometown team Omladinac Banja Luka, after which he moved to Borac Banja Luka where he started his professional career. After that, Kajkut played for Croatian 2. HNL teams Zadar and Pomorac.

One of his remarkable memorable moment in his career is connected to the 2nd leg match for Sheriff Tiraspol against a team from Andorra in the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. He first passed the ball to Wilfried Balima for scoring Sheriff's lead of 0–1 in the 68th minute (just 3 minutes after he entered the game), and then scored his first goal for the new team in the 77th minute. Kajkut created history in just 12 minutes, as he became the first ever player from Banja Luka scoring in an official Champions League match. With this extraordinary performance he became one of the favourite players for Sheriff fans though he only stayed there for one single season after that game.

After Sheriff, Kajkut went back to Borac, after which he played for Baku, again for Borac and Čelik Zenica. On 31 December 2013, he signed with South China permanently after a successful trial.

On 18 August 2015, PAE Kerkyra, for who Kajkut played at the time, was dismissed by Superleague Greece for fake shareholds transfers. The club got relegated to Football League and Kajkut was eventually released by the club. He was approached directly Veria and agreed to join it on 19 August 2015. His yearly wages at Veria were €100,000. Kajkut was officially announced as Veria's player on 28 August 2015.^[1] He debuted on 12 September 2015, in a 3–0 home defeat against PAOK. He scored his first goal for Veria with a penalty kick in a Greek Cup match against Atromitos. After Varia, Kajkut once again went back to Bosnia and played for Krupa, Zrinjski Mostar and Željezničar.

In June 2018, for a fourth time in his career, Kajkut signed with Borac.^[2] In the 2018–19 First league of RS season, with Borac, he won the league title and got promoted back to the Bosnian Premier League.^[3] Kajkut finished his career at Borac in January 2021.^[4]

International career

Kajkut made his first and only international appearance for Bosnia and Herzegovina on 1 June 2009, a 0–0 away friendly match draw against Uzbekistan, coming in as a 46th minute substitute for Emir Hadžić.^[5]
