Club career[edit]
In 2009, he played for Turun Palloseura (TPS) in the Finnish Veikkausliiga, making his league debut against FC Lahti on 31 May 2009.[2]
In the summer of 2009 he signed for Hysi.[3]
On 27 June 2012, Hoxha agreed personal terms and joined newly promoted top flight side Kukësi by penning a two-year contract.[4] He took squad number 20, and played in the second half in club's first ever Albanian Superliga match versus Luftëtari Gjirokastër which ended in a goalless draw.[5]
On 9 July 2015, Hoxha joined fellow Albanian Superliga side Flamurtari Vlorë on a free transfer.[6][7]
On 1 August 2016, Hoxha official joined Vllaznia Shkodër by signing a two-year contract.[8] He was presented to the media on the very same day.[8] He made his competitive debut with the club on 8 September in the opening league match against Kukësi, which finished in a goalless home draw.[9] On 3 December, after being used briefly during the first part of the season, Hoxha was involved in a hassle with the coach Armando Cungu.[10] After he was excluded from the training session, Hoxha confronted Cungu by saying to him: "What do you have against me? I don't now why you act like this.[10] An angry Cungu responded: "As long as I'm coach here, you shall get no playing time", which led the parties to a brawl.[10] They were separated by the assistant manager Aleksandër Maxhar, and then Hoxha left the training ground.[10] On 16 December, Hoxha officially left the club after terminating his contract by mutual consent.[11] The club also confirmed his departure via a stetament.[12] Hoxha stated that he left the club due to "Cungu injustice".[13]
On 23 December 2016, shortly after his departure from Vllaznia Shkodër, Hoxha returned to Superleague of Kosovo after a five-years hiatus by signing a one-year deal with Feronikeli.[14] He took squad number 99 and during the second part of 2016–17 season scored 4 goals in 14 league appearances as Feronikeli finished 4th.[15]
