Nika signed a new one-year contract with Teuta Durrës on 19 June 2014. [4] [5]
A day later, he was loaned out to Kukësi for their UEFA Europa League qualification games. [6] [7] However, this deal later turned to be a permanent deal, as Nika remained at the club for the entire 2015–16 season. [8]
On 5 July 2016, Nika joined Tirana on a two-year contract. [9] He was presented three days later along with fellow midfielder Afrim Taku. [10] He scored his first goal for the club on 26 October in the 4–1 away win against Luftëtari Gjirokastër, valid for the first leg of Albanian Cup's second round. [11] Nika terminated his contract by mutual consent on 7 January due to lack playing of time, having collected only 338 minutes in league during the first part of the season. [12] In an interview one day later, Nika cited that he left the club on his free will. [13]
On 10 January 2017, Nika agreed personal terms and signed a contract until the end of the season with Albanian Superliga strugglers Laçi. [14] With the number 14, Nika made his competitive debut with the club on 28 January by playing full-90 minutes in a 0–1 vital win over Korabi Peshkopi. [15] He netted his maiden Laçi goal on 18 March, the winner against Flamurtari Vlorë at Laçi Stadium as the team took three vital points in their bid to escape relegation. [16] Nika finished the season by making 15 league appearances, including 2 in cup, as Laçi avoided the relegation by just one point by winning in the last matchday against Teuta Durrës. [17]
After initially announcing his departure from the club in the start of July, [18] Nika returned to the club in the first days of August ahead of the new season. [19] In the 2017–18 season, Nika continued to be a consistent starter in the midfield as he finished it with 30 league games and 2 goals. On 27 May 2018, he played in the 2018 Albanian Cup Final match versus Skënderbeu Korçë which ended in defeat. [20] He left the club in June 2018, concluding his spell with the club by playing 51 matches between league and cup. [21]
On 4 July 2018, Nika left Albania for the first time to sign with Football Superleague of Kosovo side Gjilani. [22]
On 18 August 2019, Nika was announced as the newest player of Flamurtari Vlorë, returning in Albanian Superliga after one season. [23]
