Ujkani was born in Resnik, a village near Vushtrri, Sap Kosovo, SR Serbia, at the time part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
His family then moved to Belgium six years after his birth.
At the age of thirteen, Ujkani enrolled into Ingelmunster, spending six years there before moving to Anderlecht.

Ujkani played until June 2007 for the Anderlecht Under-19s, and made also ten appearances with their reserves team.
In June 2007, he agreed to sign a five-year contract with Palermo of Italy's Serie A.

On 31 January 2011, Palermo announced it had sold 50% of Ujkani's transfer rights to Novara, along with Michel Morganella (both tagged for €1.5 million), as part of a bid involving striker Pablo González (€5 million).

For Palermo's 2013–14 season, spent in Serie B after its previous season's relegation, he was used as a second-choice goalkeeper – receiving playing time – and being praised for his development relative to his previous stint with Palermo.
After the arrival of goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino at Palermo, Ujkani moved on loan to Chievo on 29 January 2013.
In his short stint there, he did not play a single game, serving as back-up to Christian Puggioni, and was not acquired by the Verona-based club, thus making his return to Palermo by the end of season.
