Club career
Nika signed a new one year contract with Teuta Durrës on 19 June 2014.[3][4]
A day later, he was loaned out to Kukësi for their UEFA Europa League qualification games.[5][6] However, this deal later turned to be a permanent deal, as Nika remained at the club for the entire 2015–16 season.[7]
On 5 July 2016, Nika joined Tirana on a two-year contract.[8] He was presented three days later along with fellow midfielder Afrim Taku.[9] He scored his first goal for the club on 26 October in the 4–1 away win against Luftëtari Gjirokastër, valid for the first leg of Albanian Cup's second round.[10] Nika terminated his contract by mutual consent on 7 January due to lack playing of time, having collect only 338 minutes in league during the first part of the season.[11] In an interview one day later, Nika cited that he left the club on his free will.[12]
On 10 January 2017, Nika agreed personal terms and signed a contract until the end of the season with Albanian Superliga strugglers Laçi.[13] With the number 14, Nika made his competitive debut with the club on 28 January by playing full-90 minutes in a 0–1 vital win over Korabi Peshkopi.[14] He netted his maiden Laçi goal on 18 March, the winner against Flamurtari Vlorë at Laçi Stadium as the team took three vital points in their bid to escape relegation.[15] Nika finished the season by making 15 league appearances, including 2 in cup, as Laçi avoided the relegation by just one point by winning in the last matchday against Teuta Durrës.[16] His contract expired in June, but Nika officially announced his departure on 4 July 2017.[17]
