On 16 August 2014, he scored the equalizer and first goal for Rad in a 2–1 home win over Borac Čačak.[1] In the winter of 2014, it was revealed Mihajlović was scouted by Saint-Étienne.[2] However, Rad declined the €1.2 million offer.

He scored his second goal in 4–2 home victory.[6] Rad were losing at half-time and after the turnaround in the second half, Rad went on to win with Mihajlović scoring two goals and providing one assist. During the 2015–16 season, he played 7 matches in the Serbian SuperLiga, scored three goals and provided two assists.
