Early career

[edit]

Bicaj started his career in with his home town club, Dinamo Tirana at a very young age. After some impressive displays in the Albanian Superliga he attracted the attention of foreign clubs, one of those clubs was Belasitsa Petrich in Bulgaria. Bicaj signed a three-year deal with the Bulgarian club in the summer of 2008. The contract should have kept the Albanian at the Tsar Samuil Stadium until 2011. After the club was relegated he moved back to Albania at the champions of the country KF Tirana.

On 9 June 2015, Bicaj returned in Albania and joined Partizani Tirana on a one-year contract.[2] During his presentation, he said that Partizani was the right choice, adding that he would give his best to reach the club's goals.[3]
