Kukësi

[edit]

On 30 July 2014, Zeqiri joined fellow Albanian Superliga side Kukësi by penning a one-year contract worth €80,000.[4]

Second return to Flamurtari Vlorë

[edit]

On 30 August 2015, Zeqiri completed a transfer to his first club Flamurtari Vlorë, returning for the second time.[5] On 1 February 2017, Zeqiri played 84 minutes in the returning leg of Albanian Cup quarter-final against Besëlidhja Lezhë, which ended in a 1–2 home shock loss, which brought the elimination from the competition.[6] After the match, while at dressing room, he had a clash with club administrator Sinan Idrizi, which resulted him being suspended.[7] It was raported by the media that Zeqiri accused Idrizi of treating players in double standards.[7] As the debate went on, Izridi told Zeqiri to leave the room, as he was no longer in his plans, but he (Zeqiri) refused, telling to send him a release note.[7][8] On 3 February, he was also told that he was going to train with the youth time until a second decision.[9] On 11 February, he was officially released by the club, thus becoming a free agent.[10]

Return to Kukësi

[edit]

On 17 June 2017, Zeqiri reached an agreement with his former side Kukësi for the next season.[11] Three days later, he transfer was made official and the player signed a two-year contract with the club, and was handed squad number 7.[12] He stated: "I'm very happy to be signing with Kukësi. Representation of northeastern team is a honour for me and I'm happy to cooperate again with the champions. I promise the fans that I will give my maximum.[12] He started the season by appearing in the two-legged match against Sheriff Tiraspol for the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, playing both matches as Kukësi were eliminated on away goal rule.[13] Zeqiri started the domestic season as Kukësi fell 0–1 to Tirana in the 2017 Albanian Supercup.[14] On 9 October, it was confirmed that Zeqiri will be sidelined for 3 weeks due to thigh injury.[15] On 21 November, Zeqiri parted company with Kukësi after handing a transfer request.[16]

Kamza

[edit]

After two months unemployed, Zeqiri agreed personal terms and joined Kamza on a six-month contract,[17] only to force a departure from the club 3 weeks later.[18]

International career

[edit]

Zeqiri was a member of the under-21 national team, where he earned six caps and scored one goal. He was first called up to the senior team in 2012 by Gianni De Biasi for a friendly against Georgia on 29 February. He featured in the game as a substitute in the 55th minute for Jahmir Hyka.[19] He earned a total of 4 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was an August 2012 friendly match against Moldova.[20]
