Career

edit

Starting his career in Hyltebruks IF, Maholli moved to Halmstads BK youth squad in 2006 at the age of 13. He suffered from a long range of injuries which prevented him from taking part of entire seasons. During the 2011 pre-season he made his debut first for the U21 team and then the senior team nine days later in the friendly derby against IS Halmia. He then participated in the friendly against Kalmar FF, before making his first competitive match as he made the starting lineup against Kalmar FF in Allsvenskan just a week later.[1]

After representing Halmstad in two league matches, Maholli suffered an injury during the summer which kept him away from the senior team for the rest of the season, prior to the 2012 season he was moved down from the senior team to the U19 squad.[2]

In July 2018, Maholli moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing with Silkeborg IF in the Danish 1st Division.[3][4]

In August 2020 he was signed by Helsingborgs IF at a 1/2 year contract.[5]

Personal life

edit

Shkodrans parents moved to Sweden in 1986. His father Shygeri played football for Rydöbruk IF in Division 5, while his two brothers, Shqipron and Kushtrim, played for Torup/Rydö FF and IS Halmia respectively.[1]
