Club career

Luftëtari Gjirokastër

On 12 October 2017, in the last moments of 2017–18 Albanian Superliga match against Kazma, Miraka conceded a penalty by punching Stevan Račić in the stomach.[3] He was immediately sent off by the referee as Luftëtari conceded and eventually lost the match 1–2 at home.[3] One day later, he was suspended 5 matches by Disciplinary Committee of Albanian Football Association for unsportsmanlike conduct.[4] Miraka justified his action by saying that the striker insulted him.[5] He was also suspended by club immediately after for an umlimited time until a second notice.[6][7] On 10 November, Miraka terminated his contract with the club and become a free agent in the process, stating: "The suspension without end is not acceptable."[8]
