Huja represented AC Cacém, Belenenses and Watford at junior level.[1] [2]

In 2018, he signed his first professional contract after a successful try-out at Danish team HB Køge.[3] He made his senior debut for the club on 29 July that year, in a 5–2 home win over FC Roskilde in the second league.[4]

On 26 September 2020, HB Køge announced that Huja was sold to Romanian Liga II side Petrolul Ploiești.[5] He made his competitive debut on 18 October in a 2–1 away win over Comuna Recea,[6] and on 25 November scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw with Buzău.[7]

In the 2021–22 season, Huja totalled 28 appearances and one goal as Petrolul Ploiești won the Liga II championship. He made his Liga I debut by starting in a 0–1 home loss to Voluntari, on 18 July 2022.[8]

On 22 October 2023, roughly ten months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Huja netted his first Liga I goal in a 3–1 away victory over Universitatea Craiova.[9] Nine days later, he wore the captain armband and scored another header in a 2–0 defeat of Chindia Târgoviște in the group stage of the Cupa României.[10]
