Odise Roshi (born 22 May 1991) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as aright winger for Turkish club Erzurumspor F.K. and the Albania national team.

Roshi started his professional career with his hometown club Apolonia Fier whom he played three years. In 2009, he joined Flamurtari Vlorë where he would become one of the most important players. The 2010–11 season turned out to be his breakthrough season, which earned him a transfer to 1. FC Köln of Bundesliga. Roshi failed to make an impact there, and after one season he left to sign with FSV Frankfurt in the 2. Bundesliga. During his spell at Bornheimer, Roshi made more than 70 league appearances, and in 2015 was sold at HNK Rijeka in Croatia. He left the club after only one season due to limited playing time and signed with Akhmat Grozny of Russian Premier League.

Roshi has represented Albania at under-17 and -21 levels before making his senior debut in 2011. Since then he has more than 40 caps to his name, and was part of UEFA Euro 2016 squad.

Club career

Early career

Roshi was born in Fier, Albania.

In July 2009, Roshi joined Flamurtari Vlorë, and, in a game against, Motherwell, scored a goal in the away leg. His league debut occurred on 23 August in the opening matchday against Tirana which ended in a 3–1 away win, with Roshi scoring his team's second goal. In his first season, Roshi contributed with 29 league matches and 3 goals, collecting 2067 minutes on the field, as Flamurtari finished 5th in championship, failing to clinch a spot for European competitions.

1. FC Köln

On 19 May 2011, Roshi completed a transfer to Köln as a free agent by penning a four-year contract.

Roshi made his Bundesliga debut for Köln on 6 August 2011 against VfL Wolfsburg coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute for Kevin Pezzoni with choice of coach Stale Solbakken to raise attack force. Roshi assisted the Milivoje Novaković's goal against 1. FC Nürnberg two weeks later in 2–1 loss. Roshi managed to play 3 games as a starter and concluded the season with 20 overall appearances, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist.

FSV Frankfurt

On 6 August 2012, it was announced that the 21-year-old winger would be joining FSV Frankfurt on a one-year loan. Fellow Albanian Edmond Kapllani had joined the club a month earlier. Uwe Stöver, the sports director of FSV Frankfurt, stated that Roshi had demonstrated his qualities in the previous season in the Bundesliga for Köln and he was convinced that Roshi's addition would boost the offensive play of Frankfurt.

Roshi assisted a goal against Erzgebirge Aue in the third game of the 2012–13 season. On 21 September 2012, Roshi scored his first goal for Frankfurt against FC St. Pauli. He scored from outside the far corner of the box. On 27 April 2013, he scored Frankfurt's second goal against Dynamo Dresden in the 84th minute, 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 victory.

On 4 April 2014, in the absence of his compatriot teammate Kapllani due to an injury, Roshi played up front and scored in the 61st minute in a 2–1 loss against VfR Aalen. As a result of that goal, Roshi was included in the 2. Bundesliga team of the week.

After suffering from some muscular problems, on 8 February 2015, Roshi returned and scored in the match against 1. FC Nürnberg. He started up front alongside Mohamed Amine Aoudia and scored the opening goal in a 2–1 victory. Roshi scored again in the next fixture against Red Bull Leipzig on 15 February 2015 to earn his side a 1–0 away victory.

HNK Rijeka

After Roshi refused to extend his contract with FSV Frankfurt, on 6 June 2015 he joined as a free agent at Croatian First League side HNK Rijeka by penning a three-year contract. Roshi returned from injury for the league game against Slaven Belupo Koprivnica on 19 July 2015 and started from the bench. He was an unused substitute for the match. Roshi made his debut for Rijeka in the Europa League away fixture against Aberdeen on 23 July 2015. He scored his first goal for the club in their 4–1 home win against Zagreb on 4 October 2015.

Terek and Akhmat Grozny

On 21 July 2016, press reports confirmed that Roshi signed for FC Terek Grozny in the Russian Premier League.

On 2 April 2017, Roshi provided an assist against Amkar Perm for the Magomed Mitrishev's goal in the 31st minute which brought balance 1–1 and helped Terek to take a draw as the score didn't change until the end.

On 18 August 2018, he suffered an ACL injury that was expected to keep him out of play for six months.

On 23 June 2021, his contract with Akhmat was terminated by mutual consent.

Loan to Diósgyőri VTK

On 15 February 2021, he was loaned to Hungarian club Diósgyőri VTK until the end of the 2020–21 season.

Boluspor

On 9 August 2021, he signed a one-year contract with one-year extension option with Boluspor in Turkey.

International career

Albania U17

Roshi was capped three times for the Albania under-17 team in the 2008 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifying campaign under coach Shpëtim Duro, making his debut on 27 October 2007 in the 3–0 loss against Netherlands. Albania U17s were eliminated from the qualifying round, collecting only 1 draw and 2 losses with 1 goal scored and 10 conceded.

Albania U21

Roshi during his time with under-21 side.

Roshi was called up for the first time to the Albania under-21 team by the coach Artan Bushati for the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against Azerbaijan U21s on 5 September 2009. He made his debut against Azerbaijan U21s coming on as a substitute at half-time in place of Hair Zeqiri. Albania U21s won the match 1–0 with an own goal scored by Eshgin Guliyev in the 63rd minute. Following his good second-half performance, in the next match four days later against Austria U21s, Roshi started the match and scored his first under-21 goal in the 41st minute. Austria U21s won that match 3–1 after scoring all 3 of their goals in the first 13 minutes of the match. Roshi played in four of the next six qualifying matches and scored 2 more goals. Albania U21s finished in fourth place out of five teams, managing 1 win, 1 draw and 6 losses with 11 goals scored and 20 conceded.

Roshi was called up again and under the same coach Artan Bushati he played in the two opening 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification matches against Poland U21s in a 3–0 loss on 2 September 2011 and in a 4–3 victory against Moldova U21s on 6 September, both for the full 90 minutes.

Senior team

After being given his first senior international call-up by Josip Kuže on 30 September 2011, Roshi made his debut with the Albanian senior team on 7 October, playing ful-90 minutes in the penultimate UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match against France which ended in a 3–0 loss.

Roshi then continued to be part of senior team, appearing in numerous friendlies before being included in September 2012 for the opening 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Cyprus and Switzerland. He played only in the second match against Switzerland which finished in a 2–0 away loss with Roshi appearing as substitute. Roshi scored his first international goal later on 16 October in the match against Slovenia, heading home an Emiljano Vila cross to give his team a 1–0 home win. Roshi then finished his World Cup qualifying campaign by playing 8 matches, 5 of them as starter, collecting 564 minutes as Albania finished 5th in Group E.

Roshi spent the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign between bench and field, making only five appearances in the team's successful qualifying campaign. In the opening match away against Portugal on 7 September 2014, Roshi provided the match's only goal with a cross which found Bekim Balaj. It was also the first ever win against "Seleção das Quinas". He missed out the matches in October 2014 due to a hamstring injury. He played full-90 minutes in final match away against Armenia, building up the third Albania goal scored by Sadiku as Albania won 3–0 which confirmed their place in UEFA Euro 2016, its first ever appearance at a major men's football tournament.

On 21 May 2016, Roshi was named in Albania's preliminary 27-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016, and in Albania's final 23-man UEFA Euro 2016 squad on 31 May.

He played as a starter in the opening Group A match against Switzerland which was lost 1–0. Then he went on to play in the remaining two matches as substitute as Albania finished 3rd in Group A with three points and with a goal difference –2, and was ranked last in the third-placed teams, which eventually eliminated them.

Roshi scored his second international goal after five years in the 2–1 friendly loss to Luxembourg in June 2017. He captained Albania for the first time in his 48th appearance later on 26 March 2018, playing the first half of a 1–0 home loss to Norway.

Nickname

Roshi earned the nickname Raketa (Rocket) due to his fast pace on the football pitch. In his physical test at Köln, Roshi ran 30 metres in 3.7 seconds and 100 metres in 10.9 seconds, achieving the highest score in his team.
