Club career

Velija joined Olimpik Baku during the 2008 winter transfer window, helping them finish second in the 2007–08 season before leaving the club in June 2008.[2]

In March 2009, Velija signed a two-year contract with Løv-Ham of the Adeccoligaen.[3] Velija's time in Norway came to an end in 2010, when Løv-Ham decided to return to a semi-professional club, therefore releasing their full-time players, which included Velija.[4]

In February 2014 Velija went on trial with Veikkausliiga side VPS,[5] playing for them twice in the League Cup, before returning to Gostivar. In April of the same year Velija signed a six-month contract with Finnish Second Tier side JJK.[6]

gollark: Not the wildly unintuitive thing of "convert each element to strings, join by commas, concatenate strings".
gollark: It should EITHER be concatentation or zip-and-add or something or JUST ERROR like in a sane language.
gollark: It probably should NOT do the ridiculous stringy thing.
gollark: Do YOU want an HNode™ account‽
gollark: UTF-16 strings, interestingly enough.
