Orlandić first began playing football with FK Ribnica before he was recruited by first-tier club Zeta.[1] He made his debut in the Montenegrin top flight with Zeta in 2009, where for a period of time became the top scorer for the club and the league in the 2013–2014, during which he scored 12 goals in 16 matches.[1] On October 31, 2014, Orlandić scored a hat-trick against Berane.[2]
On February 5, 2014, Orlandić went on a 6-month loan to Hapoel Tel Aviv, with an option for Hapoel to buy out his contract after the 6 months expired.[3] However, he saw minimal playing time with Hapoel, and his nine appearances for the team accumulated only about 90 minutes of playing time.[1] Orlandić scored a total of two league goals for Hapoel.[1]
On February 6, 2015, he signed a 3-year contract with Serbian club Red Star Belgrade.[4] After Orlandić scored a goal against FK Rad on May 3, 2015, Serbian sports portal "Mozzart Sport" commented that Orlandić and Luka Jović were becoming a formidable striker tandem.[5]
Orlandić had joined Spartak Trnava in January 2017.[6] He made his debut in Slovakia on 16 February 2020 in a grand derby match against reigning champions and table leaders Slovan Bratislava. The home fixture at Anton Malatinský Stadium had concluded in a goal-less tie and Orlandić completed the entire match.[7]
In another home fixture against ViOn Zlaté Moravce, on 1 March 2020, he scored his first goal for Spartak by equalising a game in the 76th minute, scoring by a header after a cross by Yann Michael Yao. While ViOn took the lead in the first-half through Tomáš Ďubek, Trnava took the victory after a stoppage-time goal by Alex Sobczyk. Orlandić also conceded a yellow card in the second half.[8]
In the following game against DAC Dunajská Streda, Orlandić suffered a seriously looking open head injury. While he was supposed to leave the pitch, he refused and collapsed after the final blow.[9]
Fortuna Liga was then postponed due to coronavirus pandemic. As Spartak resumed training process, it was announced, on 5 May 2020, that Orlandić was removed from the first squad due to disciplinary issues, which effectively meant he became club-less, as the B-squad's season was annulled due to the pandemic.[10]
After a spell at FK Zeta in 2021, Orlandić was club-less for several months, before he in March 2022 signed with Bosnian First League of the Republika Srpska club Zvijezda 09.[11]
