Besart Berisha (born July 29, 1985 in Pristina , SFR Yugoslavia ) is a Kosovar - Australian football player .
career
His family fled to Germany as early as 1992 during the civil war in Yugoslavia. Berisha initially played for the Berlin clubs Berliner VB 49, TSV Lichtenberg, BFC Dynamo , SV Lichtenberg 47 and Tennis Borussia Berlin in the respective youth teams. As the top scorer in the A-Junioren-Bundesliga 2004, the talented striker was signed by Hamburger SV . Berisha needed this contract in order to stay in Germany, as the end of the tolerance and expulsion threatened, since the family had entered illegally in 1992. However, in order to obtain a residence permit , Berisha had to have entered his home country legally. So he traveled to Pristina and received a passport from Serbia and Montenegro . This enabled him to obtain a one-year residence permit for the Federal Republic.
In the league game of the DFB , i.e. in the regional league , he would only have been allowed to play with an unrestricted residence permit. The actually planned jump into the professional squad was too big, because he missed the entire season preparation due to his stay in Pristina.
The HSV then awarded Berisha first in February 2005 for the second half of the 2004/05 season to the Danish first division club Aalborg BK , in the 2005/06 season to their league rivals AC Horsens . He saved this club from relegation with his 11 goals this season.
In the 2006/07 season Berisha played again at Hamburger SV and was a member of the professional squad. He scored his first goal for HSV in the Champions League game against CSKA Moscow on December 6, 2006 in a 3-2 win in front of a home crowd. He scored his first Bundesliga goal on December 16, 2006 at the Tivoli in Aachen.
For the Albanian national team, he made his debut against the Dutch national team on October 11, 2006 , after accepting Albanian citizenship in September 2006 . He scored his first goal for the Albanian national team on May 25, 2007 in a friendly against England's reserve team.
For the 2007/08 season Berisha, who rarely came under Huub Stevens to train, left HSV and moved to the English second division club Burnley FC . After a long injury break, Berisha was loaned to the Norwegian club Rosenborg BK .
On August 5, 2009 Berisha moved back to Germany, this time to the second division Arminia Bielefeld . With the Armines, the striker signed a contract until 2012, which was valid for the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. After the relegation of Arminia from the 2nd Bundesliga in summer 2011, Berisha received no new contract.
On August 17, 2011, the Australian club Brisbane Roar announced the signing of Berisha for one year. On the second day of the match he scored his first goal for his new club in a 2-0 win against Sydney FC . On the fourth day of the game he scored the first hat trick of his career. In the game against Adelaide United , he contributed four goals to the 7-0 success. He set a new record for the fastest hat trick in Australian football when he scored three times within six minutes between the 23rd and 29th minute of the game. At the end of the 2011/12 season he was the top scorer in the A-League with 19 goals in 26 games . In the championship final game against Perth Glory Berisha first scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 84th minute after a cross from Thomas Broich , before he scored the 2-1 winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time by a penalty he had caused, and thus his first Won Australian Championship.
In January 2014 it was announced that Berisha was moving to league rivals Melbourne Victory for the 2014/15 season. He played there for a long time and then went to Sanfrecce Hiroshima in Japan . He has been under contract with Western United since 2019 .
He received Australian citizenship in April 2019.
