Lorenc Shehaj (born 7 April 1994 in Vlorë) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Apolonia Fier in the Albanian First Division.
Shehaj is a product of Flamurtari Vlorë academy and was called in the first team for the first time in September 2012 for the league match against Shkumbini Peqin which ended in a 1–1 home draw, with Shehaj who remained as an unused substitute. He was called up for another two league matches later that year but still did not make his professional debut. Flamurtari Vlorë finished the season in the 4th position with 46 points, failing to qualify in the European competitions.
In the 2013–14 season, Shehaj was promoted to the first team. He finally made his professional debut at the age of 19 on 27 October 2013 during the 2–1 home win over Kukësi, coming on the field as a 56th-minute substitute for Ardit Shehaj. He was an important instrument in team's run in Albanian Cup, making his debut on 6 November during the 2–0 home win in the returning leg of first round.
On 13 November, Shehaj scored his first league goal for the club during the 4–3 home win over Lushnja, netting a last-minute winner in the 94th after coming on as a second-half substitute. On 18 December, in the second leg of Albanian Cup second round, Shehaj scored his Albanian Cup goals of the season, netting twice in a 4–2 home win to help to team to reach the quarter-finals with the aggregate 6–2.
He ended his second season with the club by making nine league appearances, all of them as a substitute, scoring once in the process. Flamurtari Vlorë ended the season in 7th position by qualified in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League First qualifying round after winning the Albanian Cup, where he scored twice in three appearances.
