Club career

Early career

Osmani started his career with his local club Skënderbeu Korçë as a teenager where he worked his way through the youth ranks and joined the first team prior to the 2002–03 season, where the club was competing in the Albanian Second Division, the third tier of Albanian football. He left Skënderbeu Korçë after one season and joined Albanian First Division side Tomori Berat where he would stay for one year before leaving at the end of the season to join Albanian Superliga side Elbasani. Upon joining the club he became a key member of the squad and made 36 league appearances and scored twice to help the club finish as runners up in the league behind Tirana.[2]

Following a decent second season with KF Tirana, he was given offers from other clubs in Albania and abroad. Most notably two unnamed clubs from Switzerland, both in the top flight. However he needed to talk to his manager and the owner of KF Tirana Refik Halili to sort out his current contract with the club.[3]

Teuta Durrës

On 23 July 2011 he joined Teuta Durrës on a one-year contract.[4]

Vllaznia Shkodër

He signed for Vllaznia Shkodër on 16 July 2012 and was presented to the media in the very same day.[5][6] He was part of the team only in the first part of 2012–13 season, collecting 13 league matches and one goal.

Return to Teuta Durrës

In June, he travel with his team in Austria to make the preparation phase, in order to get ready for the UEFA Champions League tie against BATE Borisov. He was one of the 23 players called up by the coach Mirel Josa for this clash.[8]

One month later, on 17 August, Osmani won his first silverware with the club, the Albanian Supercup, where Skënderbeu Korçë beat 1–0 Flamurtari Vlorë at Qemal Stafa Stadium thanks to a Bakary Nimaga winner.[11]

On 23 February 2015, during the league match against Kukësi, Osmani suffered an injury and was substituted in the 15th minute for Leonit Abazi, with the match finishing 1–1.[12] Following the match, it was reported that he had suffered an strain injury in his right thigh that kept him outside the field for one month.[13] He finally made his comeback on 13 April by playing the full 90 minutes during the 5–2 thrashing of Partizani Tirana at Skënderbeu Stadium.[14]

On 8 July 2015, Osmani agreed a contract extension with Skënderbeu Korçë, signing a contract until June 2016.[15] He renewed the contract in the airplane while he was traveling back to Albania with the rest of the squad, becoming the first player in history do to so.[15]
