Club career
Early career
Berisha began his career as a child at local side KF 2 Korriku,
where he played as a youth. He left 2 Korriku in January 2008 to join Swedish
side Kalmar FF.
Following his arrival in Sweden he was placed into the Kalmar Under-19 team as
he was too young and inexperienced for first team football.
Kalmar
Berisha debuted for Kalmar on 28 April 2010 against
Örebro SK
and won 4:1. After making fourteen appearances in his debuting season, he
became Kalmar's starting goalkeeper. Berisha scored his first goal for Kalmar
against Cliftonville F.C. in the Europa League
qualification rounds and scored his first goal in the Allsvenskan
against champions Helsingborgs IF, scoring from the penalty spot
in the 38th minute in 2012. But the game resulted in Berisha's worst ever
result, with the final score at 7–2. Berisha became a penalty taker at Kalmar
and would score all of his goals from the penalty spot.
Berisha played his last game for Kalmar against Halmstads BK
and scored from a penalty.
During his time at Kalmar, Club Manager Svante
Samuelsson stated that Etrit had developed into a very good goalkeeper during
his time at Kalmar, and had worked very determinedly along with the skilled
goalkeeper trainer Donald Arvidsson. Berisha was liked by the fans, especially
in the 2013 season as he was the main factor in keeping the club at fifth place
with a chance for winning the league.
