Early career

He has previously played for Apolonia Fier and Flamurtari Vlorë, and he was loaned out to Besa Kavajë in 2008 from Apolonia Fier for the club's UEFA Intertoto Cup campaign, in which he played in both legs in a second round fixture against Swiss side Grasshopper Zurich [1]

Bylis Ballsh

Laçi

Following his release by Flamurtari Vlorë, Meto signed for another Albanian Superliga side KF Laçi in January 2015 [4] and he immediately hit form as he scored 7 goals in his first 11 games in all competitions, 6 of which came in 9 league games. He announced his departure from the club in January 2016 after unilaterally terminating the contract to become a free agent. [5]
