On 12 February 2014 Cetinja signed her first contract with national champions ŽFK Spartak Subotica, following seven years in the youth teams at FK „Prof. Bolesnikov“.[1] She made her Serbian Women's Super League debut for the club on 31 August 2015.[2]

In October 2020, Cetinja transferred to AS Nancy Lorraine of the French Division 2 Féminine.[3] She made two league appearances,[4] before the club requested its own demotion to the regional categories at the end of the season.[5]

On 27 July 2021, it was announced that Cetinja had moved from Nancy to newly-promoted Serie A club Pomigliano.[6]

Cetinja made her first appearance for the senior Serbia women's national football team on 17 June 2019, in a 3–2 friendly win over Romania at the headquarters of the Football Association of Serbia at Stara Pazova.[7]

In October 2021, Cetinja played the full match as a Serbia team depleted by injuries and COVID-19 lost their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier 2–1 to Portugal at Estádio do Bonfim in Setúbal.[8]
