Career

edit

Ramadani previously played for NK Varteks, NK Pula, NK Rijeka and NK Croatia Sesvete of the Croatian Prva HNL.[3] A former u-21 national football team player, his professional career was crippled by a mysterious illness which turned out to be a brain tumor, which was operated on in May 2009. Recovering from the disease, he returned to playing lower league football, hoping to play in the Prva HNL again one day.[4]

Personal life

edit

He has ethnic Albanian ancestry from North Macedonia, namely Tetovo.[5]
