Ermir Lenjani
Ermir Limon Lenjani (born 5 August 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder for Schaffhausen in the Swiss Promotion League.
A product of Winterthur's academy, he began his senior career in Switzerland, including a loan spell at Grasshoppers, before establishing himself in the Swiss Super League with St. Gallen. He later played in Ligue 1 with Rennes and Nantes, before returning to Switzerland, where he represented Sion and Grasshoppers. He also spent a season in Turkey with Ümraniyespor before returning to Swiss football in 2024 with Schaffhausen.
Born in Kosovo, Lenjani made his debut for the Albania national team in 2013, going on to earn 44 caps and score five goals between 2013 and 2022. He was a regular starter during UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, helping Albania qualify for their first major international tournament, where he featured in all three group-stage matches.
Born in Kosovo, Lenjani moved to Switzerland with his family during childhood, where he began playing football and, at the age of 12, joined Tössfeld's youth teams, spending around two years there before entering the Winterthur academy. In 2007, he was promoted to Winterthur's reserve team (U21), competing in the third-tier 1. Liga Promotion, where he made 41 league appearances and scored nine goals over the following two and a half seasons.
Lenjani broke into the first team during the second half of the 2008–09 Swiss Challenge League season. He made his senior debut on 9 November 2008 against Schaffhausen on matchday 18, playing the final 41 minutes of a 3–0 defeat and receiving a yellow card. He established himself as a regular in the first team for the remainder of the season, making 11 more league appearances, mostly as a starter, despite missing four matches through suspension following a red card. On 8 March 2009, he scored his first senior goals in a 4–2 away win over Thun, netting the opening and final goals for Winterthur. He scored again on 16 May, equalising in the 34th minute of a 4–1 comeback win against Locarno.
During the 2009–10 Swiss Challenge League season, Lenjani remained a regular starter, featuring regularly through matchday 29 and often playing the full 90 minutes. On 5 December 2009, he scored his first goals of the season in a 4–4 away draw against Wohlen, opening the scoring in the 20th minute before restoring Winterthur's lead at 2–1 in the 34th minute. He scored his fourth league goal on 17 March 2010, putting Winterthur 3–2 ahead in the 53rd minute of a 5–2 home win over Lausanne-Sport. Four days later, he scored the opening goal in the 43rd minute of a 3–0 home victory over Le Mont, with Winterthur adding two more goals in the second half despite playing with ten men, before Lenjani was substituted in the 85th minute. On 8 May, he scored in a 4–1 away win over Locarno before being sent off in the 80th minute after receiving a second yellow card. Winterthur finished third, missing the promotion play-off by three points.
In July 2010, Lenjani joined Grasshopper on loan to gain top-flight experience in the Swiss Super League. He made his debut on 17 July, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw against Neuchâtel Xamax on the opening matchday of the 2010–11 Super League season. During the first half of the season, his involvement spread across the opening months and later returning to action in October and November, making six league appearances, including one start. On 17 October, he scored twice in a 12–0 victory over Gumefens/Sorens in the Swiss Cup round of 32.
Lenjani returned to Winterthur for the second half of the season and quickly re-established himself as a regular starter, playing the vast majority of available minutes during that period. He marked his return with a goal on 20 February 2011, equalising in the 60th minute of a 2–1 defeat to Chiasso. A week later, he opened the scoring in a 1–1 draw against Wohlen. On 3 April, he scored in a 3–3 away draw with Servette. He scored his fourth and final goal of the season on 7 May in a 4–1 defeat away to Locarno.
