In September 2015, Rroca moved to then Kategoria e Parë club Luftëtari. He made his league debut for the club on 12 September 2015 in a 2–0 away victory over Dinamo Tirana. He played all ninety minutes of that match.[3] He scored his first league goal for the club a little over a month later, in a 3–1 away victory over Butrinti on 24 October 2015. His goal, the first of the match, came in the 27th minute.[4]
Kukësi[edit]
Rroca signed for fellow Kategoria Superiore club Kukësi on 19 December 2018 for a fee of €50,000, signing a two-year contract until the end of 2020.[5]
İstanbulspor[edit]
Rroca joined Turkish club İstanbulspor in the TFF First League on 18 September 2020 for a fee of €50,000.[6] The Turkish club had originally sent their representative to scout his Kukësi teammate Valon Ethemi, but were impressed by Rroca and made an offer to sign the player soon after.[7] He chose to wear the number 61 shirt and he made his debut for the club in a 3–1 away win against Ümraniyespor on 26 September 2020, starting the game on the left-hand side of midfield.[8] He scored his first official goals for the club in a 3–0 away win over Samsunspor on 17 October 2020, scoring in the 53rd and 57th minute, before assisting Kamal Issah in the 91st minute for the final goal.[9]
