Vangjel Zguro (born 4 March 1993) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Partizani Tirana.
In July 2016, Zguro joined newly promoted Albanian Superliga side Korabi Peshkopi by signing a one-year contract.[1] He made his team debut as well as Albanian Superliga debut on 2 October in the 3–2 away win over Teuta Durrës.[2]
On 27 December, following the end of the first part of the season, Zguro was released from his contract, ending his cooperation with the club, becoming a free agent in the process.[3]
Within a day after his release, Zguro joined fellow Albanian Superliga side Luftëtari Gjirokastër on a free transfer.[4] He was presented to the media on the same day where he apologized for the incidents back when he was part of Pogradeci.[4]
On 9 January 2018, Zguro agreed to personal terms and joined Kamza.[5] After penning the contract, he then flew out to Antalya, Turkey to link up with the rest of the squad on their winter training camp.[5] He was presented four days later where he was given squad number 31 for the second part of 2017–18 season.[6] Zguro made his first Kamza appearance on 26 January in the home match versus Laçi, receiving a yellow card in 49th minute as the team won 3–1.[7]
He scored his maiden goal for the club, also his first in two years, on 14 April in the 3–2 loss to Skënderbeu Korçë, netting the temporarily equalizer with a free kick.[8] Zguro played 16 times in the second part of 2017–18 season, as Kazma narrowly escaped relegation by winning in the final match versus Partizani Tirana.[9]
On 17 June 2018, Kukësi announced to have signed Zguro on a one-year contract, with the defender taking squad number 8.[10]
On 2 January 2019, Zguro joined USL League One side Chattanooga Red Wolves ahead of their inaugural season.[11]
On 23 December 2019, Zguro moved up to the USL Championship, joining FC Tulsa ahead of their 2020 season.[12]
