Career

Born in Travnik, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, back then part of Yugoslavia, Barić initially played with Croatia Sesvete and NK Žminj from where he moved to NK Karlovac in 2007, at time paying in the Croatian Second League. He managed promotion with Karlovac to the Croatian First League in 2008 and played two more seasons with them in Croatian top level.
During the winter-break of the 2010–11 season, he moved to Belgium where he joined K.A.A. Gent and played two years with them in Belgian First Division A. At thewinter-break of the 2012–13 season he left Gent and returned to Croatia where he played the second half of the season with Slaven Belupo in the Croatian First League. The following summer, he, along his compatriot Matej Delač, joined Serbian SuperLiga side FK Vojvodina. However, while Delač became main goalkeeper, Barić only played few games, none of which in the league, thus it was no surprise he was released by Vojvodina at the following winter-break despite having initially signed a two-year contract.
During the winter-break of 2013–14 season, both Barić and Delač left Vojvodina and joined FK Sarajevo. That was his first club in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He stayed with Sarajevo two years, until the winter-break of the 2015–16 season and will make a total of 35 appearances in official games and scored one goal. That winter-break he moved to another Bosnian Premier League club, NK Vitez where he played until the end of the season.
In summer 2016 he signed with HŠK Zrinjski Mostar. He was released by Zrinjski in October, 2017.
In 2018, Baric joined NK Dubrava. He played there until February 2019, where he joined NK Zelina.
