Born in England,[3] Krasniqi started his playing career with Waltham Forest during the 2017–18 campaign, before sealing a move to EFL club Colchester United in January 2018.[4] After just less than 18 months at the Essex-based side, Krasniqi was released at the end of his contract in June 2019.[5]
Following his release from Colchester, Krasniqi enjoyed a brief spell at fellow Essex team Billericay Town, before signing a two-year deal with Finnish side SJK in February 2020.[3] Later that month, he made his debut during a 1–0 defeat against KuPS in a Finnish Cup tie, replacing fellow Kosovan Anel Rashkaj with ten minutes remaining.[6] On 7 September 2020, Krasniqi's contract was terminated following his desire to return to his native England.[7]
Following his return to England, Krasniqi joined up with National League South side Braintree Town in October 2020, and made his debut during a 4–3 home defeat to Hemel Hempstead Town.[8] He made 35 appearances for the Iron, scoring seven goals.
In January 2022, Krasniqi signed for Dover Athletic on a non-contract basis.[9] Krasniqi signed a contract with the club following relegation at the end of the 2021–22 season.[10]
Krasniqi has represented Kosovo at under-19 and under-21 levels.[9]
