Club Career

Early career

Memushaj joined A.S.D. Sarzanese Calcio 1906 when he was 17 years old. He helped the team finish second in Eccellenza Liguria in 2006 and gain promotion to Serie D. In the summer of 2008, he moved to fellow Serie D side Valle d'Aosta, where he played 34 games and scored 3 goals. On 10 September 2009, he signed for Paganese to play in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione after a trial.

Chievo and Portogruaro (loan)

On 21 June 2010, he was signed by Serie A side Chievo Verona on a free transfer. He was loaned out to Serie B side Portogruaro on 29 January 2011.

Lecce

On 27 July 2012, Memushaj left Carpi and moved to Serie B side Lecce on a three-year contract. However, before he even kicked a ball for his new club, they were relegated to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione after being expelled from Serie B for their part in the Calcio Scommesse scandal.

Memushaj scored his first goal for Lecce on 3 September 2012 in a 3–2 victory against Cremonese. He scored his team's 3rd goal of the match in the 31st minute with a shot from 20 meters out. On 23 September 2012, he scored Lecce's third goal in its 1–3 victory at Treviso, which took them to the top of the 2012–13 Lega Pro Prima Divisione League table.

Loan to Carpi

On 27 July 2013, Carpi announced that they had signed Memushaj on loan from Lecce for the 2013–14 season of Serie B. This transfer happened shortly after Carpi signed the fellow Albania national team player, Edgar Cani. This was his second spell with Carpi.

He became a key player for Carpi and made crucial contributions each week, scoring regularly. His first goal during this spell at Carpi came in extra time of the 0–1 away victory against Reggina on 28 September 2013. O
