Career

edit

Narva Trans

edit

Basha began his professional career in Kosovo, spending time in the youth ranks at Vllaznia before returning to his native Albania with Kamza, albeit making no first-team appearances. In June 2018, Basha moved to Estonian club Narva Trans.[2] Basha's goal was to use the move to prompt an eventual transfer to the Russian Premier League.[3] He made his competitive debut for the club on 12 July 2018 in a UEFA Europa League tie against Željezničar; a 2–0 defeat.[4] He scored his first goal for the club in August of that year, the fifth in a 7–0 victory over SK Kadrina.[5]

Kastrioti

edit

In August 2019, Basha returned to Albania, joining then-Albanian First Division club Kastrioti. He made his competitive debut for the club on 14 September 2019 in a 3–2 victory over Egnatia.[6]

International

edit

In October 2018, Basha was called up to the Albania U21 team.[7]
