Drilon Musaj (born 11 September 1994) is a Kosovo Albanian professional footballer who last played as a midfielder for Kosovan club Drita.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Musaj attracted interest from several Albanian Superliga sides including the reigning champions Skënderbeu Korçë, and he went on trial with Laçi during the summer of 2015, where he eventually signed a two-year contract, worth €1,500 per month.[2][3]

Musaj left the club in July 2017 after two seasons where he collected 66 appearances in all appearances.[4]

On 27 July 2017, Musaj was presented as Drita's newest player after agreeing to personal terms.[5] In the 2017–18 season, he played in 29 league games as Drita won the championship won 20 May 2018 after earning a goalless draw against title challengers Prishtina in the final matchday.[6]

International career

[edit]

Musaj was one of the founding members of Kosovo U21 side where he was called up in June 2013 for the 2013 Valais Youth Cup held in Switzerland.[7] He appeared as a substitute in Kosovo's first officially recognised fixture versus Ghana, netting in the 73rd minute as the match ended in a 2–2 draw; Kosovo then lost 5–4 on penalty shootouts.[8] He also played in the third-place match against Egypt which finished in an embarrassing 8–0 defeat.[9]
