Club career

Odd

He was born in Sweden to Kosovar Albanian emigrants, but grew up in Kragerø and Bø i Telemark and played for Skarphedin before he joined the then named football club Odd Grenland ahead of the 2010 season.[1][2]

Brøndby

Season 2014-15

On 24 Juli 2014 Rashani made a €660K transfer from the Norwegian side Odd and signed a four-year-contract with the Danish club Brøndby which ties him to the club until the summer 2018. Elba was handed jersey number 14.[3][4] On 31 July Rashani made his Europa League debut when he was brought in for the final fourteen minutes in the 3-0 away defeat against the Belgium side Club Brugge.

International

Rashani was born in Sweden to Kosovar-Albanian parents, and was brought up in Norway. He represented Norway as a youth. In July 2015 Rashani told the Albanian media that he is looking forward to a call up from Albania's coach Gianni de Biasi.[5] However, he ended up getting a callup with the Kosovo national football team and made his debut in a friendly 0-0 tie with Albania.[6]
