Ardit Shehaj (born 23 September 1990) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Albanian club Flamurtari Vlorë in the Albanian Superliga.[1]
Club career
On 24 January 2012, Shehaj was sent on loan to fellow Albanian Superliga team Pogradeci until the end of the season.[2] During his spell there, Shehaj appeared in two league matches as Pogradeci finished 13th which resulted in relegation to the Albanian First Division.
On 22 October 2014, in the returning match of the first round of the 2014–15 Albanian Cup, Shehaj scored a hat-trick against the underdogs of KS Kamza, leading the team to pass the round with the aggregate 5–0 after the first match finished scoreless.[3]
In the 2015–16 season, Shehaj scored a hat-trick in the first round of the Albanian Cup in a 3–2 win against KF Oriku, which was followed by another hat-trick in the next round against Tërbuni Pukë, where Flamurtari won 5–0 to go on to the quarter-final.[4]
On 11 September 2016, during the 5–0 home win against Luftëtari Gjirokastër in the second matchday of the 2016–17 Albanian Superliga season, Shehaj scored the fifth goal of the match, his first league strike since April 2015.[5] It was also his 200th appearance in all competitions for the club. Later on 18 December, Shehaj scored the lone goal in the home match against Laçi by finishing home a Bruno Telushi cross, leading the team to their third league win in their last five matches.[6] It was Flamurtari's first home over Laçi in six years.[7]
Following the end of 2016–17 season where Flamurtari barely avoided relegation by just one point,[8] Shehaj confirmed that he was going to stay at the club for the next season as he was in coach Shpëtim Duro's plans.[9]
However, one month later, on 14 July 2017, Shehaj was sold to Teuta Durrës, signing a two-year contract, leaving Flamurtari after ten years of service.[10] His debut on 9 September brought his first goal for the club as well, as his late header was the winner for Teuta who defeated Luftëtari Gjirokastër in the opening week of the championship.[11]
International career
Shehaj has been a former Albania youth international, representing his country at under-17, u-20 and u-21 levels.
Style of play
Usually a striker, Shehaj has been deployed as central midfielder by the coach Gentian Mezani.[7]
