Club career
Early career
Idrizaj joined the youth setup of local side Flamurtari Vlorë as an 11 year old in 2000, and he progressed through the ranks at the club and played at under-17 and under-19 level, before leaving in 2008 to sign his first professional contract with Bylis Ballsh. He made his professional debut on 14 September 2008 in a league game against Elbasani, where he came on as a 20th-minute substitute for injured Roland Nenaj in what would be his only appearance in a season that saw Bylis Ballsh get relegated from the Albanian Superliga.
Skënderbeu Korçë
On 24 June 2016, Idrizaj was presented as the new player of Skënderbeu Korçë; he joined on a three-year contract, taking squad number 28.[3] His competitive debut began on 1 October in the championship matchday 5 in Skënderbeu's 3–0 route of against Vllaznia Shkodër.[4] He opened his scoring account four days later in the returning leg of 2016–17 Albanian Cup first round against Butrinti Sarandë which was won a record 8–0.[5] He spent the majority of his spell on bench, making only 11 appearances between league and cup, collecting 711 minutes in total as Skënderbeu finished runner-up in cup and failed to win the championship for the first time in six years.[6][7] In June 2017, he terminated the contract with the club by mutual consent and become a free agent.[8]
