Tripić was born in
Rijeka,
Croatia to Bosnian parents. and grew up in
Lyngdal, playing youth football for
Lyngdal IL. During his youth he attended a lot of
Start's home matches. He moved to Sirdal in August 2008, and spent the next three years as a student at Sirdal VGS football. At the same time he joined Tonstad IL, playing league football for their first team at the sixth tier of the Norwegian football league pyramid. In his last match for Tonstad, at an indoor tournament, Tripic scored the winning goal when Tonstad beat
Egersund IK by 2–1 in the final. Egersund, playing at level 3, was impressed by young Tripic, and signed him only two months later. Here, he played an instrumental role as his club pushed for promotion, going top of their league in early June after Tripic scored a goal direct from a free-kick against fellow promotion chasers
Brodd. After an impressive display against
Viking in a
2011 Norwegian Football Cup first-round tie, he made headlines in several Norwegian newspapers. It was thought that Viking would be his next career stop, but in a hectic summer, where he had trials at both
Strømsgodset and
Molde, his move to Molde was completed in August 2011 for an undisclosed fee. He only made 11 league appearances for Egersund during the four months he stayed with the club. He made his debut in
Tippeligaen for Molde, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 win against
Start before he had even trained with his new teammates. The club became league champions in late October. The next year, Tripic was loaned out to
Fredrikstad FK for the last part of the 2012 season, following
Etzaz Hussain's transfer the other way around. After the
2014 season had ended, Tripic moved to German
2. Bundesliga side
Greuther Fürth, signing a contract until 2017. On 3 August 2017, Tripic signed for
FC Sheriff Tiraspol. On 21 February 2018, after his contract with Sheriff Tiraspol had been terminated, Tripić signed for
Viking. In 2019, he led the club to the
2019 Norwegian Cup final as team captain. He scored the lone goal in the final, as Viking defeated
Haugesund 1–0. On 15 January 2020, Tripić signed for Turkish
Süper Lig side
Göztepe. On 3 May 2021, his contract with Göztepe was terminated by mutual consent. On 7 May 2021, Tripić returned to his former club Viking, signing a five-year contract until the end of 2025. On 4 July 2024, his contract was extended until the end of 2026. Tripić was named

2024 Eliteserien season. On 28 November 2025, his contract was extended until the end of 2027. On 30 November 2025, Viking won the
