Vidović started his football career at local club Šmartno, and later transferred to another Ljubljana-based club Slovan at the age of 13.[citation needed]
In late November 2010 it was announced by Zlatko Zahovič, Maribor's director of football, that Maribor had acquired Vidović on a permanent move as a result of Siniša Anđelković transfer from Maribor to Palermo during the 2010–11 winter transfer window.[2] Domžale president Stane Oražem has confirmed the deal on the same day.[3] The transfer has been made official on 7 December 2010, when Maribor announced it on their official website. He signed a four-year contract with Maribor.[4]
In July 2013, Vidović joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Ravan Baku on a one-year contract with the option of another year.[5]
