Career

A product of the Dinamo Tirana academy, Hoxha was loaned out to Albanian First Division side KF Erzeni Shijak for the 2007–08 season in order to gain first team experience for the first time. During his loan spell he made 20 league appearances but did not manage to help the club survive relegation as they failed to be beat the drop by a single point. ^[1] In June 2008 he had an unsuccessful trial with German club 1860 Munich, before returning to his parent club Dinamo Tirana and joining the first team there for the first time. Following a suspension for first choice goalkeeper Elvis Kotorri, Hoxha made his debut for Dinamo Tirana on 4 February 2009 in a local derby game against Partizani Tirana. Hoxha played the full 90 minutes but failed to keep a clean sheet in the 1–0 loss.^{[ citation needed ]}

During the 2009–10 season he made 22 league appearances but the club finished in penultimate place and were subsequently relegated to the Albanian First Division, the second time he had experiences relegation in his career. He remained at the club despite relegation but eventually left to join newly promoted Albanian Superliga side KS Pogradeci in July 2010. He was the club's second choice goalkeeper behind the Macedonian Ilce Petrovski and he made nine appearances in total, seven of which came in the league. ^[2] He experienced relegation for the third time as Pogradeci finished in penultimate place. ^[3]
