Career
Early career
Rezi began his career with KF Tirana at the age of 13 in 2007, where he would travel from his hometown Maminas in Durrës to Tirana for training under former Albaian international footballer Skënder Hodja. At the age of 15 he enrolled at the national sports school Bernardina Qerraxhia, where the school's football team was Shkëndija Durrës. As he had done at KF Tirana, he competed with age group 2 years older than himself, meaning he joined the under-17 team at Shkëndija, where he scored 19 goals before progressing to the under-19 side.[2] He became the best goalscorer in Albania at under-19 level, scoring 36 goals in 29 games to help his team finish 6th in the U-19 championship. The following season he scored 7 goals in the first half of the campaign before transferring to the club he supported throughout his life, Teuta Durrës. During his time with Shkëndija he scored 62 goals in 65 games for both the U-17s and U-19s.[3] At Teuta he initially joined the under-19s and scored 13 goals in the second half of the season and narrowly missed out on the national U-19 championship to Shkëndija Tiranë.
Teuta
He made his senior professional debut in an Albanian Cup match against KF Laçi on 20 February 2013, shortly after joining the club and scoring on his debut with the under-19s. On his debut he came on as a 55th-minute substitute for Alfred Deliallisi in the 1-0 win for his side.[4] He made his league debut in the Albanian Superliga once again in a 1-0 home win over KF Laçi, on 3 May 2013, coming on in the 76th minute for Ansi Nika.[5] He made 1 league appearance and 4 Albanian Cup appearances in the first half of the season before being loaned out to Albanian First Division side KF Elbasani in January 2014 for the remainder of the 2013-2014 campaign. He made 9 league appearances, 6 of those from the starting lineup, as Elbasani won the First Division and achieved promotion to the Albanian Superliga.
International career
Albania U20
Rezi participated with the Albania national under-20 football team at the 2013 Mediterranean Games.[6]
Albania U21
Rezi debutted with Albania national under-21 football team on 6 May 2014 against Italy U21 under the coach Skënder Gega coming on as a substitute in the 51st minute in place of Maldin Ymeraj as the match ended in the 1–0 loss.[7]
