Argjend Malaj (born 16 October 1994 in Vushtrri) is a Kosovar-Albanian footballer who plays for KF Tirana in the Albanian Superliga.

Club career

FC Prishtina

Malaj joined FC Prishtina in the summer transfer window of 2013 from KF KEK at the age of 18 and he joined the first team at the club. In April he went on a short trial with German giants Borussia Dortmund[2][3] before returning to FC Prishtina to finish off the season with 15 league appearances and one goal.

KF Tirana

He signed a one-year contract with Albanian Superliga club Tirana on 3 July 2014, with the option of another year at the end of the season. He moved on a free transfer and his reported salary would be in the region of €24,000 and €30,000 a year.[4] He made his debut with the club on the opening day of the 2014–15 Albanian Superliga campaign in a home tie against newly promoted side Apolonia Fier. Malaj came on as a 67th-minute substitute for forward Mario Morina in a game that ended in a 3–0 win.[5][6] He made his first start for the club on 11 September against Vllaznia Shkodër, in a 1–1 draw which was infamously marred by crowd trouble which saw 13 people arrested and both clubs' fans receiving lengthly stadium bans.[7][8][9]

Malaj scored his first goal with Tirana on 24 January 2016, a match-winner against Flamurtari Vlorë in the first leg of the 2015–16 Albanian Cup's quarter-final.[10]

International career

Malaj has expressed his desire to represent Albania internationally, but has insisted that should Kosovo gain UEFA and FIFA recongition then he could choose them.[11]
