Club career

Early career

Cela began his career at the age of eight when playing for Mississauga Falcons SC.[1]

Toronto FC II

On May 1, 2015, Cela signed with Toronto FC II, alongside Gabriel Boakye, Malik Johnson and Brogan Engbers.[2] He made a single appearance for the affiliate club during the 2015 USL season. Cela made his professional debut on the final day of the season, playing for 29 minutes in a 2–0 defeat to Rochester Rhinos.[3]

Gafanha

In summer 2016, Cela signed with Campeonato de Portugal club Gafanha, where he would play for two seasons.[4]

Sigma FC

After leaving Gafanha, Cela returned to Canada and spent the remainder of the 2018 season with Sigma FC in League1 Ontario, making one league appearance and another three appearances in the playoffs.[5]

Forge FC

On April 3, 2019 Cela signed with Canadian Premier League side Forge FC.[4]

International career

Due to Cela's parents being born in Albania, he is eligible to represent both Canada and Albania.[1] Cela was chosen to be included in the Canada Under-15 camps in Vaughan and Costa Rica, as well as an Under-18 development camp. However, he is yet to make an international appearance for either nation.[1]

gollark: There are probably some things where you need the most CPU power per server - big database servers which aren't horizontally scaleable, video encoding, whatever - but I don't think that's the majority of use.
gollark: IIRC lots are already having issues with the high power of recent server CPU generations.
gollark: Most customers want to maximize compute per *rack*, not per server.
