He made his Flamurtari and Albanian Superliga debut on 11 September 2011 against newly promoted side Kamza in a 2–1 win, with Telushi playing the full 90 minutes of the game. Flamurtari finished the season in the fourth place, and since Tirana was the Albanian Cup winner, Flamurtari gained the right to qualify in the Europa League for the next season.

He ended his European campaign by playing 73 minutes in the returning leg at Bozsik Stadion, as Flamurtari was eliminated with the aggregate 3–0.

On 10 November 2013, Telushi scored his first career brace in the 11th matchday of Albanian Superliga against Lushnja; he scored the first two goals of his team before being replaced by Orjand Beqiri in the 83rd minute, as Flamurtari won 4–3 thanks to a Lorenc Shehaj strike in the very last seconds of the match. On 11 November 2014, Telushi was named the new captain of Flamurtari thanks to his solid performances, taking the duty over Franc Veliu.

On 17 October 2015, Telushi played his 100th league match during the 1–1 away…
