Bedri Greca (born 23 October 1990) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Elbasani.[1]

Club career

Flamurtari Vlorë

On 30 June 2015, Greca joined

Flamurtari Vlorë on a one-year contract.[2] He was distinguished for his performances in the first part of the season.[3] The second part of the season was not a good as the first however, as he was suspended in February of the following year.[4]

Kukësi

On 21 June 2016, Greca signed with Kukësi for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year deal.[5] He was handed squad number 7, and made his competitive nine days later in team's first leg of 2016–17 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round against Rudar Pljevlja, appearing in the last nine minutes of a 1–1 away draw.[6] On 24 August, he won his first silverware, the 2016 Albanian Supercup, playing in the last 24 minutes of a 3–1 triumph against Skënderbeu Korçë at Selman Stërmasi Stadium.[7] On 11 June 2017, Greca left the club after his contract expired and the parties decided not to cooperate anymore.[8]

Tirana

On 4 September 2017, Greca joined

Turbina Cërrik where he took a ball from the midfield and scored after getting past the goalkeeper for a 2–0 win, helping the team to maintain their winning start.[12] Greca scored his second Tirana goal on 29 November in an 2017–18 Albanian Cup second round match versus Vllaznia Shkodër as the team won 2–0 at home.[13] It was Tirana's first win over Vllaznia in 5 matches and the first since May 2016.[14]

Greca made an impressive improvement in the second part of the season, starting a scoring streak; he netted his first goal in 2018 in the 2–1 win at Turbina Cërrik on 3 February, which was followed by another one in the 3–1 win over

Bylis Ballsh at Adush Muça Stadium; this win extended Tirana's lead to Bylis up to 10 points, meaning that the capital club would need only one point to clinch the first place in Group B.[18] This was made official next week when Tirana won 3–2 versus Pogradeci, with Greca netting the third goal for the team.[19]

Later that month, in the match against Tomori Berat, Greca would come as a late substitute and scored a free-kick which saved Tirana from the defeat as the match ended in a 2–2 draw.

Personal life

In an interview, Greca unveiled that he is a long-life fan of Tirana and his favourite footballer is former player Indrit Fortuzi.[24]
