Kukësi

On 23 August 2013, Dosti joined fellow top flight side Kukësi by penning a 1+1 contract.[1]

Montana

On 16 July 2015, Dosti signed a two-year deal with the Bulgarian side Montana, a club which plays in the elite of Bulgarian football.[2] On 3 August, he made his A Group debut from the bench, coming into the game for Ivan Minchev in the 77th minute during the 2–1 loss against Litex Lovech at Lovech Stadium.[3]

Laçi

On 27 January 2016, Dosti returned in Albania by signing a six-month contract with Laçi of Albanian Superliga, rejoining his first manager Stavri Nica.[4]

Šibenik

On 12 July 2016, Dosti completed a transfer to Croatian Second Football League side Šibenik, penning a one-year contract.[5] During an interview, he said that he turned down several offers from Albanian clubs just to play in Croatia, where, according to him, is shown proper attention to players.[5]

Teuta Durrës

On 4 July 2017, Dosti returned to his first senior club Teuta Durrës by signing a contract for the 2017–18 season with an option to renew, taking the squad number 10.[6] This marked his return in Durrës after four years, and Dosti commented this by stating: "I'm very happy to be part of Teuta for the upcoming season. I promise that I'll extenuate that trust of Teuta directors on me."[7] Dosti started the season on 9 September by playing full-90 minutes in the opening match of 2017–18 Albanian Superliga against Luftëtari Gjirokastër which was won 2–1 at home.[8] His first score-sheet contributions came later on matchday 5, scoring his team's only goal in a 1–2 home loss to Partizani Tirana.[9] On 30 October, following the 2–1 defeat at Lushnja which was the fourth consecutive and fifth in six matches,[10] Dosti was released by the club due to bad performances and being tagged as one of culprits for the team crisis.[11]
