Alban Hoxha

Throughout the season Hoxha made 23 league and 2 cup appearances, helping Besa to a 9th-place finish, avoiding the relegation play-off places.

Later on 8 November, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win over Kukësi in what turned out to be his 300th appearance for the club in all competitions.

Hoxha was relegated to bench ahead of 2022–23 season in favor of newly signed goalkeeper Bekim Rexhepi.

Hoxha faced another penalty in the second matchday against Kamza; the penalty was conceded in the 45th minute with the score still 0–0, but Hoxha managed to save Sebino Plaku's attempt as Partizani would later score and win the match 1–0 for the first three points of the season.

Alban Bekim Hoxha (born 23 November 1987) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Albanian club Partizani and the Albania national team.

The following season, he became second choice to Elvis Kotorri following the departure of Ilion Lika, and he made 2 league appearances as Dinamo were crowned Kategoria Superiore champions for the first time since 2002.

Hoxha started youth football aged six and was raised through the ranks at his hometown team Turbina before joining the youth team of Dinamo Tirana in 2004.

He was loaned back out to Turbina for the 2005–06 campaign, where he played in the Kategoria e Parë.

He returned the following season and joined the first team at Dinamo as Ilion Lika understudy.

Hoxha was called up for the first time at Albania under-19 team for the 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying campaign where he played in all three Group 9 matches.

He made his top flight debut with Dinamo on 10 March 2007 in a home game against Elbasani.

He featured in 11 league games between March and the end of the season due to first choice keeper Lika being sidelined with injury.

During the first half of the 2008–09 season he only made one league and one cup appearance before being loaned out to fellow Superiore side Apolonia in January for the remainder of the season.

He made 8 appearances while on loan at Apolonia and kept 3 clean sheets, helping the team avoid the relegation play-off places by a single point.

He returned to his parent club Dinamo ahead of the 2009–10 season and made 6 league appearances as he won his second Superiore title with Dinamo.

The following season, he competed with Albanian international Isli Hidi for the first choice spot in the team, and following Hidi's departure to Olympiakos Nicosia in January 2011 he became Dinamo's first choice keeper for the first time and eventually featured in 24 league games as Dinamo narrowly avoided relegation after beating Besëlidhja in the relegation play-off.

At the time with Dinamo, he had a short spell with Kosova Vushtrri in the Kosovo Superleague.

On 22 August 2011, Hoxha completed a transfer to Kastrioti by penning a one-year contract as a free agent.

There he competed with Argjent Halili for the starting lineup, ultimately losing out as he only made 6 league appearances, and was used mainly in the Albanian Cup, where he featured 10 times.

He left the club at the end of the season along with Halili, and was in talks with Kukësi regarding a possible transfer, but a move never materialised as an agreement could not be reached.

He joined Besa ahead of the 2012–13 campaign and was immediately made the first choice goalkeeper ahead of Ibrahim Bejte.

He joined newly promoted Partizani in the summer of 2013 and was given the number 1 shirt as well being named captain for the 2013–14 season.

Hoxha went 1,084 minutes without conceding a goal during 2014–15 Kategoria Superiore season and got the all-time Kategoria Superiore record as he broke the 30-year-old record set by the goalkeeper of KS Labinoti (modern day called KF Elbasani), Bujar Gogunja, who kept intact net goal for 1037 minutes.

At the end of 2014, Hoxha was named Albanian Footballer of the Year for his performances throughout the season.

In March 2015, Hoxha was named Albanian Superliga Player of the Month after playing 5 matches, keeping a clean sheet.

On 1 November 2015, during the league match against Teuta, Hoxha suffered a jaw-injury after a clash with his team-mate Gëzim Krasniqi in the 76th minute of the match, being taken off the field by an ambulance.

On 20 July 2016, in the returning leg of Champions League second qualifying round at Groupama Arena, Hoxha was the main protagonist of the game.

After the regular and extra time had finished in a 1–1 draw, the game was decided in a penalty shootout where Hoxha saved three penalties after himself having scored a 'Panenka'.

It was the first time that Partizani successfully progressed to the Champions League third qualifying round.

Hoxha made his 100th Kategoria Superiore appearance for Partizani on 17 October 2016 in the 4–0 win over Flamurtari at Elbasan Arena.

On 9 August 2017, Hoxha agreed a new contract extension with the club, signing until 2020.

Hoxha was excluded from the lineup in the opening matchday of championship against Laçi, lost 0–2.

Following the match, manager Mark Iuliano said that Hoxha has violated the club's rules.

It was reported that Hoxha left the team's gather without permission.

Club director Luciano Moggi said that Hoxha would not play unless he apologises to the team, but Hoxha refused and instead handed in his captaincy.

In July 2018, Hoxha was renamed captain following the departure of Idriz Batha.

Despite the club finishing 5th in the previous season, Skënderbeu Korçë's exclusion from the UEFA competitions meant that Partizani had qualified for the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.

The team faced Slovenia's NK Maribor, and lost both matches 3–0 on aggregate which brought the early elimination from the competition.

Hoxha commenced his domestic season by playing in the opening match of 2018–19 Kategoria Superiore, conceding an injury time penalty for a foul on Dejvi Bregu which caused the loss.

In June 2020, Hoxha signed a new one-year contract with the club.
