In June 2012, Shtubina signed with Vllaznia, returning to Shkodër after a one-year absence. He came from Flamurtari along with his teammate Halim Begaj. During an interview, Shtubina said that he returned to Vllaznia with the goal of winning the championship, however, Vllaznia finished in 6th place, failing to secure a spot in European competitions next season.
2012–13 season
Shtubina started 2012–13 season by appearing as a second-half substitute in team's opening league match against Skënderbeu, which finished in a 1–3 home loss. In November 2012, he suffered a knee injury that kept him sidelined until January 2013. He returned to the football field on 8 February by appearing as a substitute in the last moments of the 1–0 away win against Skënderbeu, replacing the goalscorer Arsen Hajdari.
On 4 May, Shtubina scored his first goal of the season during the 3–1 league loss to his former club Flamurtari, which was his only strike of the season. During the 2012–13 season, Shtubina played 17 out of 26 league matches, in addition 3 cup matches, as Vllaznia was eliminated in the second round to Shkumbini. The team finished the championship in a disappointing sixth place, remaining out of European competitions once again. Following the end of the season, due to negative results, Shtubina said that there is a possibility for him to leave the club.
2013–14 season
Shtubina started his seventh season as a Vllaznia player by playing full-90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss to Flamurtari in the team's first league match of 2013–14 season.

A week later, he scored the winner against the newly promoted side Partizani for another three important points.
Shtubina started 2014 by scoring a last-minute equalizer against Teuta, earning his side a point at home. He continued with his solid appearances by netting the second of a 2–0 away win against Laçi on 23 March; the goal came after a solo run. Seven days later, he scored the lone goal of the 1–0 home win against Skënderbeu, which was his sixth of the season, equaling his personal best set in 2010–11 season. A minute after scoring, he received a yellow card meaning that he would miss the next league match against Lushnja. Shtubina returned in action on 19 April and set his mark by scoring the third goal of the 4–2 away win over Kastrioti, setting a new personal best. It was the third match in a row that he score a goal. Shtubina ended the season with 7 goals and 30 appearances throughout the season, with Vllaznia managing to stay in Kategoria Superiore for another season.
2014–15 season
During summer transfer window, many rumors circulating for a possible departure of Shtubina from the club, as Partizani and Teuta were set to acquire his services. However, he agreed a contract extension with the club in July 2014, and was named club captain for 2014–15 season.
He played his first match of the season in team's opening league match 2014–15 season against Kukësi, featuring in the entire match. Shtubina scored his first goal of the season on 11 September 2014 from a direct corner-kick in a 1–1 draw against Tirana in the Albanian derby which was infamously marred by crowd trouble which saw 13 people arrested and both clubs' fans receiving lengthy stadium bans. Following that, on 20 September 2014, he scored a brace in a 2–0 win over Apolonia, taking his tally up to three league goals. In the post-match interview, Shtubina dedicated his goals to the club's fans.

He scored his first goal of the season on 17 October in Vllaznia Shkodër's 3–0 defeat of Tërbuni, netting in the first minute of the match. On 23 December, in the last match of 2015, Shtubina scored in the second minute of the match against fellow relegation strugglers Bylis in an eventual 3–2 home win.
With the arrival of the new coach Armando Cungu, Shtubina kept his place in the starting lineup, playing five matches between January and February. On 13 March, he scored the second in a 3–1 win over rivals Tirana at Reshit Rusi Stadium. On 30 April, in the 3–2 away defeat to Laçi in the matchday 32, Shtubina made his 200th appearance for Vllaznia.

Kukësi
On 29 July 2017, Shtubina agreed personal terms and completed a transfer to fellow top flight side Kukësi for the 2017–18 season. He was presented to media the same day and was given squad number 10, last worn by Jean Carioca, stating: "I'm thankful to Kukësi directors for believing in me."
