Club career

Born in England,[3] Krasniqi started his playing career with Waltham Forest during the 2017–18 campaign, before sealing a move to EFL club Colchester United in January 2018.[4] After just less than 18 months at the Essex-based side, Krasniqi was released at the end of his contract in June 2019.[5]

Following his release from Colchester, Krasniqi enjoyed a brief spell at fellow Essex team Billericay Town, before signing a two-year deal with Finnish side SJK in February 2020.[3] Later that month, he made his debut during a 1–0 defeat against KuPS in a Finnish Cup tie, replacing fellow Kosovan Anel Rashkaj with ten minutes remaining.[6] On 7 September 2020, Krasniqi's contract was terminated following his desire to return to his native England.[7]

Following his return to England, Krasniqi joined up with National League South side Braintree Town in October 2020, and made his debut during a 4–3 home defeat to Hemel Hempstead Town.[8] He made 35 appearances for the Iron, scoring seven goals.

In January 2022, Krasniqi signed for Dover Athletic on a non-contract basis.[9] Krasniqi signed a contract with the club following relegation at the end of the 2021–22 season.[10] On 28 December 2022, Krasniqi departed the club having had his contract terminated by mutual consent.[11]

On 31 December 2022, Krasniqi signed for Chelmsford City.[12]

On 7 July 2022, Krasniqi joined Hemel Hempstead Town.[13]

International career

Krasniqi has represented Kosovo at under-19 and under-21 levels.[9]
