He also scored three times in the Albanian Cup which took his tally to 12 goals for the season in all competitions.

He left the club following their relegation and joined Superiore side Teuta in the summer transfer window of 2001, netting 4 times in 19 games in his first season to help his side finish in a respectable 4th place in the league.

He scored 8 goals in 12 games in the first half of the season which attracted the interest of several foreign clubs, which included Norwegian side Brann who offered the player a trial in January 2006.

His agent Knut Høibraatens arranged the trial with Brann, which was eventually resulted in a permanent move in March 2006 following a transfer fee of 600,000 kr.

Memelli returned on action for the league match against Molde by entering as a second-half substitute and providing the assist of the second goal for a 2–1 home win.

GAIS acquired the services of Memelli on 28 March 2007 for €320,000 with the player signing a three-year contract.

He got off to a very good start as he scored four goals in four pre-season games.

In the Allsvenskan he wasn't so lucky as he did not score any goals but he still played 16 games, and proved that he had other skills too.

But the 2008 edition of Allsvenskan he was sidelined due to injury.

On 6 July 2008, Tirana president Refik Halili confirmed to have signed Memelli on a one-and-a-half-year loan.

About the move to Tirana, Memelli stated: "I spoke with the president Halili for only 15 minutes and everything ended with consensus", while also added that his "goals are the same as those of the club."

He took squad number 9, and made his official debut on 24 August in the opening week of 2008–09 Kategoria Superiore against rivals Vllaznia, playing for 83 minutes before making place for Blerti Hajdari as the match ended in a goalless draw.
