Deinze
[edit]For the 2015–16 season Shkodra signed with Deinze of Belgian First Division B.[4] He league debut would come on 8 August 2015 in team's 1–0 win over Patro Eisden, where Shkodra was sent off in the 82nd minute after a second bookable offence.[5]
Flamurtari Vlorë
[edit]On 4 July 2016, Shkodra completed a move to Flamurtari Vlorë of Albanian Superliga as a free agent.[6] He was presented on the same day, where he was handed squad number 10.[7] He made his competitive debut on 7 September in the opening league match of 2016–17 season, scoring his team's only goal in a 2–1 away defeat to Skënderbeu Korçë.[8] In the second matchday against the newly promoted side Luftëtari Gjirokastër, Shkodra scored two goals, both long-range strikes, in an eventual 5–0 home win for the first three points of the campaign.[9] On 5 November, Shkodra scored the first goal of the 2–0 home win against Skënderbeu Korçë, giving the team its second consecutive league win.[10]
On 6 December, he was again on the scoresheet, netting the winner against Tirana to give the team 3 vital points.[11] Later that month, Shkodra suffered an injury in right leg which kept him sidelined for about three months. He returned in action in March of the following year,[12] making his first appearance on 11th, starting and playing the whole match against Partizani Tirana.[13] He finished his first and only Flamurtari season by making 30 appearances, including 26 in league, scoring 11 goals, including 9 leagues goals, as the team avoided the relegation by just one point. In June 2017, Shkodra confirmed his departure from the club.[14]
Skënderbeu Korçë

I'm ready to give 100% for this team.[16]

He started the domestic season by scoring in the first leg of 2017–18 Albanian Cup first round against Adriatiku Mamurras.[18] Three days later he played his first Albanian Superliga match for Skënderbeu in the opening matchday against Flamurtari Vlorë, contributing in a 2–0 home win.[19] He scored his maiden league goal in the next matchday at newly promoted Kamza, finished in a 1–1 draw.[20]
Shkodra failed to make an impact and remained mostly to bench during his stint, making only 6 league appearances, collecting only 298 minutes.[21]
