He made his competitive debut with the club on 8 September in the opening league match against Kukësi, which finished in a goalless home draw. On 3 December, after being used briefly during the first part of the season, Hoxha was involved in a hassle with the coach Armando Cungu. After he was excluded from the training session, Hoxha confronted Cungu by saying to him: "What do you have against me? I don't now why you act like this. An angry Cungu responded: "As long as I'm coach here, you shall get no playing time", which led the parties to a brawl. They were separated by the assistant manager Aleksandër Maxhar, and then Hoxha left the training ground. On 16 December, Hoxha officially left the club after terminating his contract by mutual consent. The club also confirmed his departure via a stetament. Hoxha stated that he left the club due to "Cungu injustice".
