On 4 May, Shtubina scored his first goal of the season during the 3–1 league loss to his former club Flamurtari Vlorë, which was his only strike during the 2012–13 season.[11] The club finished the season in a disappointing sixth place, remaining out of European competitions once again. Following the end of the season, due to negative results, Shtubina said that there is a possibility for him to leave the club.[12]
