He will be long remembered for his European goal scored on 9 July 2009 against Irish side Sligo Rovers, in the match valid for 2009–10 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round, where Shtubina played as a starter and scored the match opening goal in the 42nd minute, an equalizing goal in the 84th minute of the second half and finished the game in the 1–1 draw.[3]

In June 2012, Shtubina signed with Vllaznia, returning to Shkodër after a one-year absence.[4] He came from Flamurtari along with his teammate Halim Begaj.[5] During an interview, Shtubina said that he returned to Vllaznia with the goal of winning the championship, however, Vllaznia finished in 6th place, failing to secure a spot in European competitions next season.

2012–13 season

edit

Shtubina started 2012–13 season by appearing as a second-half substitute in team's opening league match against Skënderbeu, which finished in a 1–3 home loss.[6] In November 2012, he suffered a knee injury that kept him sidelined until January 2013.[7] He returned to the football field on 8 February by appearing as a substitute in the last moments of the 1–0 away win against Skënderbeu, replacing the goalscorer Arsen Hajdari.[8]

On 4 May, Shtubina scored his first goal of the season during the 3–1 league loss to his former club Flamurtari, which was his only strike of the season.[9] During the 2012–13 season, Shtubina played 17 out of 26 league matches, in addition 3 cup matches, as Vllaznia was eliminated in the second round to Shkumbini.[10] The team finished the championship in a disappointing sixth place, remaining out of European competitions once again. Following the end of the season, due to negative results, Shtubina said that there is a possibility for him to leave the club.[11]

2013–14 season

edit

Shtubina started his seventh season as a Vllaznia player by playing full-90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss to Flamurtari in the team's first league match of 2013–14 season.[12] On 18 September, he opened his scoring account by netting the opener of a 2–0 win against Tirana in the Albanian derby.[13] He scored his second league goal in the matchday 8 against Kastrioti on 20 October, leading the team into a 2–1 home success.[14] A week later, he scored the winner against the newly promoted side Partizani for another three important points.[15]

He played his first match of the season in team's opening league match 2014–15 season against Kukësi, featuring in the entire match.[25] Shtubina scored his first goal of the season on 11 September 2014 from a direct corner-kick in a 1–1 draw against Tirana in the Albanian derby which was infamously marred by crowd trouble which saw 13 people arrested and both clubs' fans receiving lengthy stadium bans.[26][27][28] Following that, on 20 September 2014, he scored a brace in a 2–0 win over Apolonia, taking his tally up to three league goals.[29] In the post-match interview, Shtubina dedicated his goals to the club's fans.[30]

With the arrival of the new coach Armando Cungu, Shtubina kept his place in the starting lineup, playing five matches between January and February.[34] On 13 March, he scored the second in a 3–1 win over rivals Tirana at Reshit Rusi Stadium.[35] On 30 April, in the 3–2 away defeat to Laçi in the matchday 32,[36] Shtubina made his 200th appearance for Vllaznia.[37] On 8 May, he scored his sixth league goal of the season in the 2–0 home win against Tërbuni, giving his team three crucial points in their bid to escape relegation.[38]
