[1] His preferred position is right back, but he can also play on the left as he has done for both club and country on a number of times, as well as defensive midfielder.

Vangjeli began playing football at the age of just 5 with local side Skënderbeu Korçë under the guidance of coach Benin Beta.

As he was tall, fast and lively he was playing as a forward at the time, which was noted in a friendly game by the coach of the Aris second team.

In that friendly Vangjeli scored 2 goals for the 5th tier side and was immediately offered a trial at Aris.

After eight years at Aris, Vangjeli made a €300,000 move to Chornomorets Odesa in the Ukrainian Premier League on 30 August 2011, signing a three-year contract.

[3][4] On the third round of 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, Vangjeli's Chornomorets faced his childhood club Skënderbeu Korçë.

[9] The contract that he signed with the club meant that he would play only in their Champions League campaign, and, if Skënderbeu were eliminated, he would return to Aris Thessaloniki.

[21] On 30 August 2016, Vangjeli returned to Skënderbeu Korçë after Astra Giurgiu's financial problems, signing a one-year contract.

[25] Vangjeli's first international call up came in September 2004 under Hasan Lika, following the players promotion to the Aris senior team.
