Brkić presented himself in Albania for the first time in the 2008–09 season where he scored 9 goals in 30 matches with Apolonia Fier.[1] He improved during the next season, scoring 15 goals in 30 matches, missing out "Golden Boot" to Daniel Xhafa for 3 goals.[2] In January 2010 he was also named the new team captain.[3]
Brkić was loaned out to Dinamo Tirana for the club's participation in the UEFA Europa League; he played in the first leg of first qualifying round against FC Lahti which ended 4–1 to the Finnish side.[4]
On 14 August 2010, Brkić was signed by Skënderbeu Korçë on a one-year contract worth €50,000.[5] He scored in a friendly just four days later against Pogradeci.[6] Brkić scored his first Albanian Superliga hat-trick on 24 October 2010 in a 5–1 home win over Kastrioti Krujë in the matchday 8.[7] The feat was followed by braces against Dinamo Tirana and Besa Kavajë which brought the striker tally to 7 goals.[8] [9] He finished the first part of the season as Skënderbeu to scorer with 8 goals in 16 appearances, in addition 1 goal in 1 cup appearance before leaving in January.
In January 2011 Brkić joined a half-season loan at Dinamo Tirana, returning at capital club after two-and-a-half years.[10] As part of the transfer, Albanian midfielder Gjergji Muzaka went to the opposite direction.[11]
Brkić agreed personal terms and joined fellow top flight side Flamurtari on 15 September 2011 on a one-year contract.[12] His spell at Red&Blacks was short-lived, as he went goalless in 10 league appearances. He did, however, scored once in Albanian Cup on 28 September versus lower league opposition Bilisht Sport.[13] He left the club in the first days of January after terminating the contract.[14]
On 15 March 2012, after three months as a free agent, Brkić left Albania and joined Zalaegerszegi TE of Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[15] He signed a contract until the end of the 2011–12 season and took squad number 11.[15] Brkić made his competitive two days later by entering as a substitute in the final minutes of the 1–1 home draw against Szombathelyi Haladás.[16] His first score-sheet contributions came in his second appearance for the club on 24 March against Vasas SC, netting a volley in 76th minute to give his team the temporary lead in an eventual 2–3 loss at Illovszky Rudolf Stadion.[17] Brkić finished his short spell in Hungary by making 8 appearances and scoring once, as Zalaegerszegi TE was relegated to Nemzeti Bajnokság II after finishing last in the championship.[18]
Brkić completed a transfer to Albanian Superliga outfit Laçi on 29 August 2013, returning in Albania after two seasons.[19] He made his debut on 14 September in the opening week of championship versus Partizani Tirana, producing a strong performance and assisted the lone goal before was replaced at extra time as Laçi won at home.[20] He opened his scoring account later on 6 November in a cup match against Elbasani, netting the opener with a penalty kick as Laçi won 2–0.[21] His first league goal came three days later as he scored the first of a 0–2 win at Kastrioti Krujë.[22] He left the club on 14 April of the following year due to his poor performances throughout the season, having scored only 4 goals in 25 league appearances.[23]
