Club career

Baccus joined Sydney FC's youth set-up in 2008, and in 2010 moved to Europe where he joined French side Le Mans' youth set-up, not before trialling at Mallorca and Real Sociedad in Spain. In 2012, Baccus joined A-League club Perth Glory on a short-term deal prior to his impending move to Italian outfit Siena.[1] Though after a disappointing spell in Perth, due to injury and lack of fitness, Baccus chose to move back to Sydney, where he joined local side Blacktown City.[2]

On 6 November 2014, Baccus joined Western Sydney Wanderers on an injury-replacement contract, followed by signing a deal to play in the 2015 Asian Champions League before becoming a full squad member for Seasons 2015–16 and 2016–17.[3] In October 2018, Baccus signed with Melbourne City FC as an injury replacement player.[4]

On 5 July 2019 he signed a three-year deal with South African side Kaizer Chiefs.[5]
