Club career
Tirana
On 29 June 2006, Allmuça joined Tirana on a one-year transfer, taking the vacant number 17.[3] Following his presentation, Allmuça flew out to Macedonia to link up with the rest of the squad on their summer training camp.[3] He was an important instrument in team's European campaign, playing 4 out of 4 matches, as Tirana were eliminated in the second round by Kayserispor. He made his competitive debut on 13 July in 2006–07 UEFA Cup first round's first leg against Varaždin, where he played 79th minutes in an eventual 1–1 away draw.[4] He had an important role in the returning leg as Tirana recorded a 2–0 win at Selman Stërmasi Stadium, progressing in the next round with the aggregate 3–1.[5]
Dinamo Tirana
In August 2007, Allmuça signed with Dinamo Tirana for the upcoming 2007–08 season.[6] On 27 June 2008, following the end of the season where Dinamo was crowned as Albanian champions, Allmuça agreed a contract extension for another season.[7]
Skënderbeu Korçë
On 10 June 2011, Allmuça agreed personal terms with Albanian champions Skënderbeu Korçë and signed a one-year contract with them, and was assigned number 14 for the 2011–12 season.[8] He made his competitive debut with the club on 13 July 2011 in team's first ever European match against APOEL, playing 67 minutes in e eventual 2–0 home defeat.[9] In the returning leg of Champions League's second round seven days later, Allmuça played full-90 minutes, being unable to avoid the 4–0 away lose, with Skënderbeu Korçë who were eliminated with the aggregate 6–0.[10]
