In 2017, Breza signed for Serie D club Potenza, helping them gain promotion to Serie C for the 2018–19 season.[3] During the offseason, he was rumoured to go to fellow Serie D club Taranto.[4] In his second season, Breza largely played a backup role to Raffaele Ioime, but made 8 starts.[5] In January 2020, Breza was linked with a move to Serie A club Bologna.[6] [7]

On January 29, 2020, he joined Serie A club Bologna on loan until June 30, 2020. Bologna held an obligation to purchase his rights at the end of the loan.[8]

Breza was born in Canada to a Polish father and Norwegian mother, and holds dual citizenship with Canada and Norway.[9] He attended his first camp for the Canadian U-20 team in 2016.[10] Breza was named to the Canadian U-23 provisional roster for the 2020 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship on February 26, 2020.[11]
