Bajram Fetai (Macedonian: Бајрам Фетаи; born 7 September 1985) is a Macedonian football coach, former player, and actor. He is of Albanian ethnicity.

Club career[edit]

He spent the early part of his career in Scotland, where he was a youth player at Rangers. At Rangers he made one first team appearance against Dunfermline in March 2004.[2] The following season he had a loan spell at Inverness Caledonian Thistle[3] before leaving Rangers for Silkeborg in 2005.[4]

In 2010, he gained infamy after his "violent goal celebration" scoring for FC Nordsjælland against his old club Silkeborg, was widely distributed on the internet.[5]

Fetai retired from football after his contract with FC Roskilde was terminated on 1 September 2016.[6]

International career[edit]

He made his senior debut for Macedonia in a November 2010 friendly match against Albania and has earned a total of four caps, scoring no goals. His final international was a June 2013 friendly against Sweden.[7]

Coaching career[edit]

In January 2017, Fetai was appointed coach in FC Nordsjælland's academy responsible for integration across levels.[8] He held multiple positions in the Nordsjælland organisation, but left in January 2022 to focus on a café he owned in Copenhagen.[9]

Acting career[edit]

Fetai made his acting debut in 2022, after being cast in the role as Flori in Nicolas Winding Refn's television series Copenhagen Cowboy.
