Club career

Early career and HB Køge

[edit]

Huja represented AC Cacém, Belenenses and Watford at junior level.[2][3]

In 2018, he signed his first professional contract after a successful try-out at Danish team HB Køge.[4] He made his senior debut for the club on 29 July that year, in a 5–2 home win over FC Roskilde in the second league.[5]

Petrolul Ploiești

[edit]

On 26 September 2020, HB Køge announced that Huja was sold to Romanian Liga II side Petrolul Ploiești.[6] He made his competitive debut on 18 October in a 2–1 away win over Comuna Recea,[7] and on 25 November scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw with Buzău.[8]

In the 2021–22 season, Huja totalled 28 appearances and one goal as Petrolul Ploiești won the Liga II championship. He made his Liga I debut by starting in a 0–1 home loss to Voluntari, on 18 July 2022.[9]

On 22 October 2023, roughly ten months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Huja netted his first Liga I goal in a 3–1 away victory over Universitatea Craiova.[10] Nine days later, he wore the captain armband and scored another header in a 2–0 defeat of Chindia Târgoviște in the group stage of the Cupa României.[11]

Pogoń Szczecin

[edit]

On 28 June 2025, Huja transferred to Polish club Pogoń Szczecin for a rumoured fee of €300,000 plus 20% interest.[12][13] He scored his first goal on 26 July, heading a corner to level an eventual 4–1 Ekstraklasa home victory against Motor Lublin.[14]

Loan to CFR Cluj

[edit]

On 6 February 2026, Huja returned to Romania, joining Liga I club CFR Cluj on loan for the remainder of the season, with an option to buy for a fee estimated to be €250,000.[15]

Personal life

[edit]

Huja was born in Portugal to Romanian parents from Oaș Country, Transylvania.[16] He holds Romanian nationality.[17]
