Born in Titovo Užice, Planić started out at Zlatibor Čajetina in the Drina Zone League, before transferring to Serbian SuperLiga club Sloboda Užice in the 2011 winter transfer window.[1] He subsequently switched to Serbian League Belgrade side Žarkovo the following winter.

In July 2016, Planić signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Vojvodina.[4] He earned his second selection in the league's best eleven in the 2016–17 season.[5]

He made his league debut in the 2–2 draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv. He scored his first goal for the club on 22 December 2020 in a league match against Bnei Yehuda which ended in a 2–1 victory. Planić quickly became a key player, and helped the club the win 2020–21 Israeli Premier League championship after 10 years. In the 2020–21 season Planić and the club won their second championship in a row as well as the Toto Cup and the Israel super cup. On 24 August 2022, Planić and Maccabi Haifa qualified to UEFA Champions League group stage for the third time in the club's history, after beating Red Star Belgrade, Planić's former club, in the play-offs.

On 26 August 2022, just days after Maccabi Haifa's qualification to UEFA Champions League, Planić signed a three-year contract at Shabab Al Ahli.[8]
