Teuta Durrës

Hoxha made his league debut for the senior team on 14 May 2010 by playing full-90 minutes in a 3–1 home victory over Flamurtari Vlorë.[1] His first score-sheet contributions came similarly to his time with Luftëtari Gjirokastër, netting the equalizer in the 44th minute of the 1–1 draw versus Tirana on 13 March 2014.[2] On 2 June 2017, Hoxha left the club after nine years, where he collected more than 150 appearances in all competitions.[3]

Loan to Luftëtari Gjirokastër

In January 2013, Hoxha was loaned out to Albanian Superliga club Luftëtari Gjirokastër. He made his first appearance for the team on 10 February in a 3–1 home loss to Kukësi.[4] His first goal came on 2 March 2013 in the league match against Tirana, netting the tempolarly equalizer in an eventual 2–1 loss at Qemal Stafa Stadium.[5]

On 19 June 2017, Hoxha agreed personal terms and joined fellow top flight side Kukësi.[6] He was presented a day later where he signed the contract and was given squad number 5.[6]

Hoxha played his first match with his new side on 9 September 2017 in the opening week of 2017–18 Albanian Superliga against Kamza, contributing in the 1–0 win.[7] His maiden goal for the team came later on 19 February of the following year in the 3–1 away win over Partizani Tirana.[8]

He left the club in mid-August 2018 after deciding to end his cooperation following the elimination of Kukësi from Europa League, finishing his spell with 42 appearances and 2 goals.[9]
