Florent Hoti
position :
midfielder
The midfielder began his career at fellow National League side Rochdale’s academy, going on to sign a two-year scholarship in 2017. In September 2018, Hoti made his senior debut as a second half substitute against Bury in the EFL Trophy and was offered his first professional contract at the end of that season.
Following a successful trial with Scottish Premiership side Dundee United in August 2020, the midfielder signed a two-year deal. In October 2020, Hoti spent time on loan at Forfar Athletic before returning to Dundee in January due the suspension of the lower leagues in Scotland as a result of Covid-19. Hoti made his debut for Dundee in April 2021 against Hamilton Academical in a 1-0 win. In November 2022, Hoti signed for Scottish Championship side Arbroath on a short term deal, lasting until the end of January 2023, where he then joined Tranmere, again on a short term deal.
Hoti is eligible to play for England, Kosovo, and Albania due to his parents. The midfielder was called up to the Albania under-21 side in March 2021, but was unable to join the squad due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. In May 2021, Hoti was called up to represent Kosovo under-21s in a UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier against Andorra under-21s where he would make his debut. Hoti has gone on to make eight appearances for Kosovo under-21s.
