About Ervin Bulku
Ervin Bulku (Albanian pronunciation: [ɛɾvin ˈbulku]; born 3 March 1981) is an Albanian former professional footballer and current assistant coach of the Albania national team. He was a utility player capable of operating as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder and right midfielder. Bulku began his senior career with Tirana in 1998, where he established himself as one of the club's key players during one of its most successful periods, winning six Kategoria Superiore titles and four Albanian Cup trophies, including a domestic double in his debut season, as well as five Albanian Supercup titles. After nearly a decade with Tirana, he continued his career abroad with Kryvbas in Ukraine, Hajduk Split in Croatia, AZAL in Azerbaijan, and Sepahan in Iran, where he won the 2012–13 Hazfi Cup. He later returned to Tirana in 2014 and retired at the club in 2016. At international level, Bulku represented Albania at under-18 and under-21 levels before making his senior debut in 2002. He earned 56 caps and scored one goal for the Albania national team over a thirteen-year international career. In the 2001–02 season he was a regular member of the team in the 2001–02 Albanian Cup scoring two goals throughout the route to the final where Tirana won the trophy beating Dinamo Tirana 1–0. These departures meant that Bulku would feature more frequently in the first team and he did so making an impressive 21 appearances in his second season in which he won his first trophy of his career, the Albanian Superliga title.
