Myrto Uzuni

He marked his first goal on 21 October during matchday 6 against Lushnja, contributing to a 3–0 win that lifted Laçi to 3rd place in the championship.

On 10 December, Uzuni scored his second goal of the season in a crucial match against Skënderbeu, ending their undefeated streak in the league.

In his first senior start, Uzuni scored his maiden senior goal in the second minute and secured a 71st-minute winner in a 3–2 victory, advancing his team to the next round.

Myrto Artan Uzuni (born 31 May 1995) is an Albanian footballer.

He primarily plays as a forward or left winger for La Liga club Granada and represents the Albanian national team.

Uzuni, born in Berat, relocated to Zakynthos, Greece, at the age of 10 with his parents and two brothers.

Driven by his passion for football, he joined the academies of the Zakynthos Club Association Doxa Pigadakia.

Simultaneously, he assisted his parents in their restaurant in Zakynthos.

Throughout his debut professional season, he made 11 league appearances, scoring one goal, contributing to his team's 4th-place finish.

Additionally, he scored two goals in four Albanian Cup games, concluding his debut season with three goals in 15 games.

Uzuni spent seven years there until 2012, when he returned to his hometown of Berat.

Upon his return, he joined the local side Tomori and initiated his career by playing for the club's under-17 team.

During the 2012–13 season, he emerged as the top goalscorer in the under-17 First Division, netting 14 goals.

In the subsequent season, Uzuni continued his goal-scoring streak, scoring four times in his first four games.

He then transitioned to the under-19 side, representing Tomori in a football tournament held in Spain in September 2013.

Uzuni's exceptional performance contributed to Tomori's victory in the tournament, and he secured the position of the top goalscorer with seven goals.

Consequently, his talent earned him a call-up to the senior team by head coach Madrid Muxhaj.

Uzuni made his professional debut in an Albanian Cup match against Pogradeci on 24 October 2013, entering as a substitute in the 53rd minute for Fatjon Lajthia in a goalless draw.

Quickly becoming a key player for the under-19s, he received another call-up to the senior team for the return leg of the Albanian Cup against Pogradeci.

His league debut came in the Kategoria e Parë against Veleçiku on 14 December 2013, entering the game at half-time for Salvador Gjonaj in a 1–0 away win.

Having established himself in the first team under Madrid Muxhaj in the previous season, Uzuni experienced a change in management as Eqerem Memushi took charge for the 2014–15 campaign.

The new coach displayed confidence in the young player by starting him in the opening game, a 1–0 win against Shkumbini.

Uzuni's consistent performances included scoring twice in 11 days before the winter break in December.

His displays in 2014 earned him the Tomori Player of the Year award.

Shortly after receiving the award, he made a move to the top-flight side Apolonia during the January transfer window in 2015.

In January 2015, Uzuni signed a four-year contract with Kategoria Superiore side Apolonia.

Under coach Artan Mërgjyshi, he made his debut in the Kategoria Superiore on 24 January against Tirana, ending in a 2–0 away loss.

Despite Apolonia's struggles in scoring during the second half of the season, Uzuni became a regular starter, often completing full 90-minute matches as part of the front line alongside Realdo Fili, Andi Ribaj, and Marko Rajković.

Apolonia faced challenges, remaining scoreless in the first five games of the season's second half, all resulting in losses, with Uzuni forming a striking partnership with Fili and Ribaj, while Rajković remained on the bench.

The team's fortunes changed with a 2–2 home draw against Kukësi on 28 February, where Uzuni scored his first goal for Apolonia in the first half, and Fili also contributed with a goal.

Subsequently, with the forward trio of Fili, Uzuni, and Rajković, Apolonia secured two consecutive wins, with Uzuni assisting Fili in scoring on both occasions.

Despite these successes, Apolonia faced difficulties, losing the next three games scorelessly against top-table sides Laçi, Tirana, and Partizani.

Although they managed three additional wins, frequent losses in the remaining matches led to their relegation after finishing in the penultimate place, four points behind Teuta.

This victory was Laçi's first over Skënderbeu since April 2015.

On 14 March of the following year, Uzuni achieved his first top-flight brace in a 3–1 win at Lushnja, hitting the crossbar twice and having a goal canceled for offside.

Roza Haxhiu Stadium proved to be his favorite venue, with seven goals scored for three different teams.

In the final matchday, Uzuni scored a brace in the 4–2 home win over Teuta, securing ten goals for the campaign.

On 17 August 2017, amidst interest from various top-flight clubs, Uzuni completed a transfer to Laçi for €20,000.

On the same day, he showcased his skills by playing and scoring in a friendly against Iliria, resulting in a 2–2 draw.

Making his competitive debut on 10 September in the 2017–18 Kategoria Superiore matchday 1 against Partizani, Uzuni played the full 90 minutes as Laçi caused an upset with a 2–0 victory.
