About the player
Jon Mersinaj came through Albanian football before making his career in Croatia. He started out in the youth ranks at KF Tirana and then Shkëndija Tiranë, before moving to Croatia in 2017 to join Lokomotiva Zagreb's academy. A loan back to Albania followed, with a season at KF Laçi in the Kategoria Superiore giving him senior minutes before he returned to Zagreb.
Mersinaj spent several years at Lokomotiva, reaching a Croatian Cup final in the 2019-20 season, before winning the Arena Cup with the club in 2023. In February 2025 he left for NK Osijek in a permanent move, signing a contract running to the summer of 2027.
He has also worked his way into the Albania set-up. After four caps at Under-21 level between 2019 and 2021, Mersinaj was called into the senior squad and made his debut in a friendly against Estonia in June 2022, a match that finished goalless.
