Born in Nova Gradiška, Čeliković started playing football at local club Budućnost Rešetari before moving to Hajduk Split.

He would go on to spend half a season at NK Dugopolje in 2010, a second-tier season at NK Solin, and an additional season at Konavljanin before he got his break and arrived at first-tier Inter Zaprešić in 2012. In September 2015, he scored his first goal in the Prva HNL, finding the net in the 94th minute of a 3–1 defeat against Osijek. In February 2016, Spanish club Rayo Vallecano indicated interest in securing his services. He was also included in the team of the season in the 2015–16 Prva HNL Team of the Season.

In January 2017, Čeliković switched clubs and countries and signed for Macedonian club Shkëndija, with whom he penned a one-year contract. He scored his first goal for the club in a draw against Finnish club HJK Helsinki.
