Career edit
Bozga moved to Vestsjælland in February 2013 after a successful trial.[2] He won promotion to the Danish Superliga in his first season at the club. Bozga formed a partnership in central defense with Lasse Nielsen, and the duo allowed the fewest goals on headers of all Superliga-clubs early on in the season.[3] After the club suffered relegation and later filed for bankruptcy in December 2015, Bozga signed with K-League club Daejeon Citizen from the K League 2.[4][5]
On 30 June 2017, Bozga returned to Denmark where he signed with HB Køge after a successful trial.[6] He signed a contract extension in December 2019, keeping him at the club until 2020.[7]
Bozga moved to Ishøj IF in the Denmark Series on 29 July 2020.[8] After six months, he returned to Slagelse B&I, the continuation of the bankrupt Vestsjælland.[9]
In June 2022, Bozga announced his retirement from football.[10][1] He founded his own company after retiring from professional football, J.C Bozga Construct ApS, which deals with renovation tasks, painting and masonry work.[11]
