Career
Vujin started his professional career in his hometown club RK Sintelon, where he played with national team mate Žarko Šešum and Bosnian top goalkeeper Danijel Šarić, who later won the EHF Champions League with FC Barcelona Handbol.[2]
In July 2003, he was signed by the Hungarian Championship outfit Dunaferr SE, who were strengthening their squad for the forthcoming EHF Cup campaign.[3]
Vujin spent three years with the Danube-side and collected a championship bronze medal in each season. Although during his spell in Dunaferr the club did not manage to break the dominance of the Pick Szeged–MKB Veszprém duo, he showed his unique scoring skills and was crowned as the top scorer of the Hungarian Championship in the 2005–2006 season.[4]
With his brilliant performances he drew the attention of MKB Veszprém KC, and the record champions secured the services of the right back in the summer of 2006. In his new club Vujin has grown into a player of the highest calibre and became the key of Veszprém's success. He helped the team to the EHF Cup Winners' Cup title in 2008 with scoring nine goals in the first leg of the finals, that was eventually won by the Hungarian club with a five goal margin.[5]
On 30 October 2009, while playing against Hungary in an international friendly tournament, Vujin suffered a serious knee injury that had to be operated.[6] He underwent surgery on 4 December 2009 and the recovery process took four months. He returned into action on 3 April 2010 against HCM Constanţa in an EHF Champions League match. He entered the field first in the 45th minute to take a penalty shot, which he missed, however, his teammate Pérez scored from the rebound. Few minutes later he got another chance from the line and this time he did not miss.[7]
In the autumn of 2010, he reached his best form again and in the winter break he topped the EHF Champions League top scorers' list with 65 goals, sixteen goals ahead of second placed Uwe Gensheimer. His continuous superb play attracted the attention of THW Kiel, the Champions League winners of the past season, and the German club offered a contract for Vujin that Veszprem could not match. As a result, the Serbian international will now join Kiel in 2012, once his current contract expires.[8][9]
