[edit] Career

Gashi's family moved to Norway as refugees when he was eight years old. He became a Norwegian citizen, and has played for the Norwegian national team.

Gashi started his career in his local amateur team KIL/Hemne. After short stays in Molde and Ørn Horten he went to Oslo to play for Vålerenga on loan in 2003, and later permanently.

Gashi was an important player in Vålerenga's surprisingly good 2004 season, when the club finished as runners-up in the Norwegian Premier League.

In the 2005 season Gashi missed a number of games in August, due to having to serve a prison sentence for breaking the speed limits while driving. He was sentenced to 18 days in prison, but was released after 14, for good behavior, and thus managed to play in Vålerenga's 1–0 loss.[1] He was later to play in the penalty shootout loss against Club Brügge in the last round of UEFA Champions League qualification.

On 30 August 2006, Gashi signed for Brann in as surprising transfer worth about NOK 7.000.000 (£580.000, €865.000). His stay in Bergen was of the short kind. On 25 July 2007 he signed with Fredrikstad FK. It was announced in December 2009 that he would join Swedish club Helsingborgs IF for the 2010 season.
