At the age of 12, he moved to the seaside :hr:NK Vodice|NK Vodice for two seasons before moving on to the HNK Hajduk Split youth setup.

Released at the end of the season, he moved to Austria Klagenfurt, but after a single youth team and state cup match, he returned to Croatia, this time to HNK Šibenik in the Druga HNL.
Pešić's fledgling career was brought to a temporary halt by a traffic accident. After only 9 matches in the year and a half at Šibenik, Pešić had moved on to the Prva HNL team NK Zadar in early 2014. However, due to inflammation of his pubic bone, Pešić played in only 2 matches until the end of the season.
However, Pešić became a first-team regular the following season, under coach Miroslav Blažević. He would go on to amass four goals and eight assists from his preferred left wing position. This resulted in his transfer to RNK Split, having earned the reputation as one of the quickest players in the league.
After his club's relegation in the summer of 2017, Pešić rejoined HNK Hajduk Split.
In 2018, he joined Romanian club Dinamo București. He was loaned out at Shakhter Karagandy in 2019 and released by Dinamo in January 2020, after his return from Shakhter.
On 15 February 2020, Pešić signed for FC Kaisar.
