Ardit Hoxhaj (born 20 July 1994) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Flamurtari Vlorë in the Albanian Superliga, on loan from Skënderbeu Korçë.
On 21 June 2016, Hoxhaj was sent on trial to PAS Giannina of Superleague Greece. He successfully passed the trial, but however he did not sign a contract with the club due to high economic demand of Bylis Ballsh.
On 6 September 2016, Hoxhaj completed a transfer to Skënderbeu Korçë for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until June 2019. His spell at the club was marred by his lack playing time, having appear only five times in the first part of the season, including two appearances in league, both as substitute, failing thus to make an impact.
On 22 January 2017, Hoxhaj agreed personal terms and signed a two-year contract with Korabi Peshkopi, taking the vacant squad number 11. This turned out to be a fraud, however, as Hoxhaj joined Korabi only on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut in team's 0–1 home defeat to Laçi, as he went on to play 14 more appearances, all of them as starter, failing to score, as Korabi finished the season in the last spot with only 13 points, returning back to Albanian First Division after one season.
On 10 June 2017, Hoxhaj returned to Flamurtari Vlorë after four years on a long-season loan deal. He was presented six days later where his transfer was made official, stating: I'm happy to be back home. I'll give the maximum for my city's team.
He has cited his role model and favourite footballer the Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, and his also fan of Italian club Milan.
