He was called up for the team's European campaign in 2008–09 UEFA Champions League. On 15 July, in first leg of first qualifying round against Bosnian side Modriča, Brahja was an unused substitute in an eventual 0–2 home defeat. Eight days later, in the returning leg at Bilino Polje Stadium, Brahja was again in the bench for the entire match with Dinamo who was defeated 2–1 in the last minutes.

Brahja was again in the scoresheet on 19 December when he netted the winner of the match against Kastrioti Krujë, giving Laçi three important points.

Brahja established in the starting lineup, playing 30 league match thoughtout the season, all of them as a starter, and scored a high-career 5 goals. Laçi concluded the season in the 4th position, qualifying thus in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round for the first time in its history. Brahja remained at the club for their European campaign where Laçi was seeded to play with Belorusian side Dnepr Mogilev. In the first leg at Niko Dovana Stadium on 1 July 2010, Brahja was the captain of the team and played full-90 minutes in an eventual 1–1 draw. In the returning leg one week later at Spartak Stadion, Brahja captained again but was sent off after two yellow cards in the 72nd minute as Laçi were thrashed 7–1 by Dneper, who progressed to the next round with the aggregate 8–2. Following the end of European campaign, Brahja announced his departure from the club.

Flamurtari Vlorë

He made his league debut on 25 September 2010 against Teuta Durrës in the match valid for the 5th week of 2010–11 Albanian Superliga, where he played full-90 minutes in an eventual 2–1 away lose. He went on to play further 26 league matches until the end of the season in an eventual second-place finish.

He made his competitive debut with the club on 24 January in a 2–1 away defeat to Flamurtari Vlorë, a match that was dubbed as manipulating from AFA. Two days later, the Prosecution of Vlora began investigations for this match. He was ever-presented during the second part of the season, playing every single minute in their bid to escape relegation. On 17 May, in the penultimate league match against Apolonia Fier, their closest survival rivals, Brahja played a vital role in the team's 1–0 home win, securing thus mathematically staying for the next season.

He was assigned number 4, and made his debut on 31 January in a 3–0 away loss to Kukësi.
