He made his debut for Botev in a match against Ludogorets Razgrad on 6 August 2016.[1] On 17 November 2016, Meledje signed an extension to his contract, which would have kept him with the club until 2018.[2] On 24 May 2017, he played for Botev in the Bulgarian Cup Final, helping his team to win the Bulgarian Cup for first time in 36 years. [3]

Meledje marked a good start of the season 2017–18, being chosen for the best eleven for the second round in First League.[4] In the beginning of September Meledje was close to a transfer in the Israeli Premier League, but the transfer failed after the transfer window was closed before any agreement. [5]

Return to Septemvri

On 21 January 2018, after a few days of speculations, Meledje returned to his previous Bulgarian team Septemvri Sofia, which also owned 40% of his rights.[6] He completed his re-debut for the team on 17 February 2018 in the first league match for the year, against Etar Veliko Tarnovo.[7]
