On 2 September 2012, Djarmati extended his contract with Dinamo Tirana for another one season, keeping him at the club until the end of 2012–13 season.[3]

Tërbuni

On 22 March 2015, Djarmati received the first red-card of his career for punching a player during the 0–3 away win against Ada.[4] He was banned for five matches, and returned in the first team for the league match against Adriatiku on 9 May.[5][6] In this match, Djarmati started and played full-90 minutes as Tërbuni didn't go more and a goalless draw.[7]

Kastrioti

On 13 July 2015, Djarmati returned to Kastrioti after almost five years by signing a one-year contract.[8][9] He was given number 25 for the 2015–16 season. About this transfer, Djarmati said: "I'm very happy that i will be part of Kastrioti for the new season. I'm optimist that this team will be a rival to be promoted in Kategoria Superiore next season".[8]

Djarmati started the season by playing only 25 minutes in team's opening match of the season against Erzeni on 12 September 2015, helping his side to start the season in the right way with a 2–1 win.[10] He scored his first goal of the season one week later in the second match of the league, netting the first goal of his team that equaled the 0–2 disadvantage into a 2–2 draw against Adriatiku.[11] He appeared again as a second-half substitute.
