Jahmir Hyka

Jahmir Hyka, born on March eighth, nineteen eighty-eight, is a retired Albanian professional footballer known for his role as a left midfielder. His journey in football began at Dinamo Tirana, but it was in Norway with Rosenborg where he first attempted to launch his professional career, albeit without making a league appearance.

In two thousand seven, Hyka transferred to Greek giants Olympiacos, yet again failing to break into the first team. This led to a loan spell at Tirana, where his impressive performances caught the eye of scouts, earning him a move to Mainz 05 in the German second division in two thousand eight. He made his debut in the Bundesliga in two thousand nine, marking a significant step in his career.

Hyka's career saw him return to Tirana in January two thousand eleven, where he played a pivotal role in helping the club secure the Albanian Cup. His next chapter took him to Switzerland, joining Luzern in the summer of two thousand eleven, where he made over one hundred fifty appearances over six years. In February two thousand seventeen, he made the leap to Major League Soccer, signing with the San Jose Earthquakes.

In January two thousand nineteen, Hyka signed a contract with Maccabi Netanya for one and a half years. On the international stage, he represented Albania at various youth levels, including under-17, under-19, and under-21, before making his senior debut in two thousand seven. Notably, he scored Albania's fastest goal in history just a year later, accumulating a total of forty-four caps by June two thousand seventeen.
