Club career

Early career

Malbašić entered the professional ranks in 2011 by signing with Kozara Gradiška in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] In 2013, he signed a contract with Sloboda Mrkonjić Grad in the First League of the Republika Srpska.[2] Malbašić debuted in the 2013–14 Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup, where Sloboda Mrkonjić Grad defeated Travnik. His time with Sloboda was short-lived as he signed with Jedinstvo Bihać in the 2014 winter transfer market.[3][4] The following season, he switched clubs to play in the country's top-tier league by signing with Borac Banja Luka.[5]

Canada

In the summer of 2015, Malbašić played abroad in the Canadian Soccer League with Scarborough SC.[6][7] In his debut season with Scarborough, the club failed to secure a playoff berth by finishing tenth in the league's first division.

Bosnia

After spending the summer months abroad in Canada, he returned to Banja Luka for the 2016-17 season.[8][9] However, his second run with the club was cut short as he received an injury.[10] Following his recovery from his injury, he left Banja Luka during the 2017 winter transfer market.[11] After his release from Banja Luka, he was linked with a move to his former team, Kozara.[12][13] Ultimately, he signed with his former team, Sloboda Mrkonjić Grad.[14][15] Once the season concluded, he was linked with moves to Olimpik and Tekstilac Derventa.[16][17]

Malbašić returned to the First League of Bosnia and Herzegovina to play for Metalleghe-BSI on December 12, 2017.[18][19] He returned to Metalleghe for the following season.[20] After a year and a half with Jajce, his contract was terminated as he signed with Rudar Prijedor.[21][22] He parted ways with Rudar midway through the season to secure a contract with Zvijezda Gradačac.[23][24] In 2020, he returned to his original club, Kozara Gradiška.[25] After two seasons with Kozara, he signed with Borac Kozarska Dubica.[26] In 2025, he signed with FK Dubrave in the Second League of the Republika Srpska.[26][27]

International career

Malbašić was selected to represent the Republika Srpska official under-23 football team against Udinese Calcio.[28]
