Tirana
editXhafaj completed a transfer to Albania most successful club Tirana as a free agent.[20] Priror to that, he had an unsuccessful trial at Austrian Football Bundesliga outfit Rapid Wien.[21] Xhafaj was allocated his favourite squad number 22, and started the season on 15 August by playing in the 2007 Albanian Supercup where Tirana won 4–2 versus Besa Kavajë to clinch the first trophy of the season.[22] It was his third career trophy. His league debut occurred one week later in the 0–1 loss away to Flamurtari Vlorë in the opening championship week.[23] Xhafaj endured a slow start to the season and was out of form in the first matches.[24] He had to wait until 7 November to score his first goal of the season; he netted a header in 39th minute against his former team Teuta Durrës to temporarily level the figures in an eventual 2–1 win.[25] His second of the season came later in round 14 in the 3–2 home win over Skënderbeu Korçë which was the third league win in a row.[26] At the end of 2007, Xhafaj was ranked 43rd in the list of top 50 goalscorers by IFFHS.[27] Xhafaj slightly improved in the second part of the season, netting in both legs of 2007–08 Albanian Cup second round tie versus Laçi.[22] He also scored in the 2–1 win versus Elbasani in matchday 25.[28] It was a season to forget for Tirana as they ended up 6th in championship like never before.[29] Xhafaj himself managed to score only 8 league goals, his worst tally in Albania since 2002–03 season.[30] He however was able to score 4 cup goals as Tirana lost in final to Vllaznia Shkodër.[22] Following the end of the season, Xhafaj was the only player on contract with Tirana.[31]
Xhafaj was sent on loan at fellow capital side Dinamo for their Champions League campaign.[32] He played in the first leg of second qualifying round as Dinamo lost 0–2 at home versus Modriča.[33] He also played in the returning leg, scoring in 72nd minute which revived Dinamo hopes of qualification before Modriča scored twice in the last minutes to win 2–1.[34]
Xhafaj begun his domestic season on 24 August 2008 by appearing in the goalless draw of Albania derby versus Vllaznia Shkodër.[35] He scored his first goal of the season in matchday 3 against Partizani Tirana in the capital derby.[35] Xhafaj was also on the score-sheet of the inaugural Taçi Oil Cup match versus then-FIFA Club World Cup winners Milan on 14 October.[36] He scored with a shot just inside the zone in an eventual 2–1 win.[36] Xhafaj scored his first cup goal of 2008–09 season later on 29 October in the 1–1 draw versus Tërbuni Pukë in the first leg of first round.[37] Xhafaj eventually finished the season with 10 league goals as Tirana clinched their 24 championship in history; this was Xhafaj second Albanian Superliga title.[38] He also scored twice in Tirana's run in cup as the team was defeated 1–2 by Flamurtari Vlorë in the final.[37]
Xhafaj begun his third Tirana season by playing in the second qualifying round on 2009–10 UEFA Europa League against Stabæk Fotball.[39] He played in both legs as Tirana was crashed out of competition 1–5 on aggregate.[40] He left the club in August 2009. His spell with the capital club was marred by his wrong positioning on the field and poor relationship with manager Sulejman Mema.[41][42]
Besa Kavajë
editXhafaj signed for Besa Kavajë on 27 August 2009 after having played in the Champions League qualifiers with previous club Tirana against Norwegian side Stabæk.[43] Tirana's failure to qualify to the next round lead to Xhafaj considering his options, one of those came from Besa's president Nexhat Bizhdili who had great ambitions to make Besa one of Albania's top sides. Just days before finalising the deal for the striker, he had a meeting with Bizhdili to discuss a possible transfer, after he was convinced he signed on 27 August 2009 and trained with the rest of the club at their preseason training camp in Mavrovë.[44]
Xhafaj made a dream debut by scoring a brace in the 2–0 home win versus Vllaznia Shkodër in the opening championship matchday.[45] The brace was followed by the winner against Skënderbeu Korçë in round 5 which placed Besa in first place tied on points with Dinamo.[46] On 29 November 2009, in the matchday 12 away against Vllaznia Shkodër, Xhafaj scored in the 35th second of the match to make it the 4th fastest goal ever in Albanian Superliga; Besa won 3–2.[47][48] It was his first league goal after six matches. His goal was ranked the fourth fastest ever in the championship behind Stevan Račić, Gjergji Muzaka and Migen Memelli.[49][50]
Xhafaj begun second part of the season on prolific form; he scored in each of three four league matches as Besa collected 12 points to remain in second position 12 points behind the leader Dinamo.[51][52][53] Priror to that he scored in the third edition of Taçi Oil Cup against Spanish giants Real Madrid while representing Gramozi Ersekë; he scored inside two minutes to give Gramozi the lead in an eventual 1–2 loss at Qemal Stafa Stadium.[54] Xhafaj also scored in both legs of 2009–10 Albanian Cup third round tie versus Tirana as Besa progressed thanks to away goal rule.[55]
Xhafaj reached double-figures for the second season in a row on 7 March 2010 by netting his team's lone goal in a 1–2 home loss to Skënderbeu Korçë.[56] On 9 May, Xhafaj won his first trophy with Besa, the Albanian Cup, after defeating Vllaznia 2–1 at extra-time.[57] His first hat-trick of the season came later on 14 May in the penultimate matchday versus Gramozi Ersekë as Besa won 6–4.[58] It was his first hat-trick in three years and 4th overall. The hat-trick and a goal in the last matchday versus Dinamo[59] lifted the striker tally to 18 goals which allowed him to clinch the Golden Boot for the first time in career, leaving behind Dinamo's Elis Bakaj.[60][61] Xhafaj eventually finished the season by netting 21 goals between league and cup, as Besa finished runner-up in league to Dinamo to secure a spot to Europe for next season.[62] He left the club in the first days of June.[63]
Flamurtari Vlorë
editXhafaj returned to Flamurtari Vlorë on 12 June 2010 by agreeing a deal worth €70,000 per season.[63] He was presented on the same day where he was given squad number 22.[63]
He made his third Flamurtari debut on 21 August by netting the winner versus current champions Dinamo Tirana in the opening matchday of championship.[64] This was followed by a brace against the other capital club Tirana in the second matchday to lead the team into a 2–1 win and first place in championship.[65]
Starting from October, Xhafaj went on to score in 7 consecutive league matches, including in the 4–0 home win against title challengers Skënderbeu Korçë on 7 November.[66] Priror to that, he was sent-off in the 1–3 away loss to Shkumbini Peqin on 17th which forced him to miss the next match against Laçi which was won 1–0 a week later.[67][68] His run came to an end on 13 December in the 1–0 win to Besa Kavajë.[69] Flamurtari finished the first part of the season in the first place three points ahead of the closest follower.[70] Xhafaj himself scored an impressive 12 goals in 15 matches.[71]
Xhafaj started 2011 by scoring a goal in each of first three league matches of the second part of the season; the first was in the 1–2 win at Kastrioti Krujë,[72] the second in the 4–2 win over Shkumbini Peqin[73] and the third from a winner against Laçi.[74] This wins helped the team to extend the league lead to Skënderbeu.[74]
Xhafaj was protagonist in the controversial 0–1 away loss to Skënderbeu in the "championship battle".[75] Flamurtari lost to a controversial penalty awarded in 31st minute by the referee.[75] As if that was not enough, the team also played for more than half-hour with 10 players after the expulsion of Bledar Devolli.[75] Xhafaj went to publicly accuse the referee for deciding the game.[76] In an interview in 2017, where he was asked about this match, Xhafaj stated: "I have not feel well to see that episodes. In my long career, it is the first time that a game which decides the title gets determines by a referee like this, because he determined that. This is a disaster and I invite AFA to interfere, because they decide for the referees."[77] They were also deducted three points by AFA after abandoning the game versus Vllaznia Shkodër; they abandon the game in 89th minute after a penalty assigned to Vllaznia. Flamurtari at that point was winning 1–0 with the goal of Xhafaj. Federation gave Vllaznia a 3–0 walkover win.[78][79]
Flamurtari finished the championship on second place.[80] For Xhafaj it was a good season in personal terms, as he managed to win Golden Boot for the second consecutive season after netting 19 goals in 31 matches.[81] He was also named Player of the Year by UEFA.[80] Xhafaj also made 2 cup appearances as Flamurtari was eliminated in the second round.
He was released by the Flamurtari chairman Shpëtim Gjika on 19 July 2011, along with three other main players, Sebino Plaku, Bledar Devolli and Julian Ahmataj.[82]
