He is currently a forward for the Ukrainian Premier League team FC Dynamo Kyiv and also a starting player for the Uzbekistan national football team.

He has won the Ukrainian Premier League scoring title twice, in the 1999-2000 season with 20 goals and in the 2002-2003 season when he scored 22 goals to equal Serhiy Rebrov's record haul of 1997-98 while also playing for Kyiv.
