Club career

Partizani Tirana

In the first days of January 2018, Belica joined Albanian club Partizani Tirana on a 10-day trial in Antalya, Turkey.[2] He successfully passed the trial, and on 23 January was presented as Partizani's newest player, penning an 18-month contract and taking squad number 2 for the second part of 2017–18 season.[3] He played his first match for the club three days later, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Flamurtari Vlorë in championship matchday 17.[4] Belica scored his first Albanian Superliga goal later 28 February, netting the third in Partizani's 6–0 hammering of bottom side Lushnja.[5] Ultimately he managed to play in 19 league matches, all of them full-90 minutes, as Partizani managed a fifth-place finish; he also played two cup matches as Partizani was knocked-out in quarter-final by Flamurtari Vlorë in away goal rule.[6][7] On 31 May, Belica's performances were rewarded as he was offered a contract extension by the club, which he accepted, with the contract reportedly containing 20% wage increase.[8]
