On 4 August 2016, Shala joined Albanian club Laçi, taking squad number 3 for the 2016–17 season. He made his competitive debut on 7 September in the opening matchday against Korabi Peshkopi which ended in a goalless draw.[3] He quickly established himself in the starting lineup, playing at the back.[4] On 1 April of the following year, during the 2–0 away loss to Teuta Durrës in the matchday 27, Shala was sent-off after a bad tackle on Faisal Bangal.[5] Five days later, he was later suspended for 6 matches for his behaviour towards the match official by the Disciplinary Committee of AFA.[6] He finished his first full season in Albania by making 34 appearances, including 29 in league, collecting 2080 minutes as Laçi secured a spot in the top flight for another season.[7]

The 2017–18 season was less successful for Shala, as he lost the place in the starting lineup, managing to play only 12 league matches, only 7 as starter, collecting 636 minutes as Laçi finished 4th to return to Europa League qualifying rounds once again.[8] He scored his first goal for Laçi on 13 September in the first leg of cup first round versus Sopoti Librazhd; the match finished in a shock result, with Laçi winning 12–0.[9] On 31 May 2018, Shala's contract run out and the parties decided not to continue their cooperation, ending his spell with 41 league matches.[10]
