Lejdi Liçaj (born 19 January 1987) is an Albanian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[1]
Club career
[edit]Flamurtari Vlorë
[edit]On 18 July 2017, Liçaj agreed personal terms and joined Flamurtari Vlorë for a third time.[2] The transfer was made official, with the player signing a deal for the upcoming season.[3] He scored his first goal of the season on 19 November in his fifth league appearance against Lushnja; his 91st minute overhead kick was the lone goal of the match.[4]
On 19 January 2018, Liçaj left the club after celebrating his 31st birthday with his teammates.[5] His third spell at his boyhood club ended with 13 appearances between league and cup, scoring three times.
Luftëtari Gjirokastër
[edit]On 19 January 2018, Luftëtari Gjirokastër announced to have signed Liçaj, thus returning him for a third spell at Bluzinjtë.[6] He made his third debut for the club one week later by coming on in 7th minute for the injured Oltion Rapa in an eventual 2–0 home win against Skënderbeu Korçë.[7] He scored his first goal of his third spell later on 14 March in the match against Kukësi, a header which put Luftëtari ahead as the match ended 2–1.[8] The goal prompted Luftëtari fans to nickname him "Chinese Roberto Carlos".[9]
Back to Flamurtari Vlorë
[edit]On 5 January 2019, Liçaj returned to Flamurtari Vlorë.[10]
