Orlin Orlinov (Bulgarian: Орлин Орлинов) (born 8 August 1988 in Teteven) is a Bulgarian football striker who currently plays for Chavdar Byala Slatina.
Orlinov started his professional career at Litex Lovech, for which made his debut in A PFG in season 2005/06 at the age of 17. In June 2006, he joined Slavia Sofia. He was loaned to Spartak Varna in the opening days of the 2009 January transfer market. To the end of the season Orlinov played 10 matches for Spartak and scored one goal against his previously club Slavia Sofia.
On 3 July 2009, Orlinov signed a one year contract with the option for extension for another two with CSKA Sofia. His time with CSKA has been marred by some disciplinary issues. In March 2010 he was arrested for kidnapping model, reality TV star and television reporter Katrin Vacheva and assaulting her for several hours. She was left with a broken nose, concussion and brain injuries.[1] She said to police that, "He dragged me for a few metres, there was a trail of blood. He said – you are a beautiful woman, and all beautiful women deserve to be beaten.[2]"
Orlinov accepted Akhisar Belediyespor's offer and is going to sign his contract with the team on 5 July 2010.[3] He joined the Turkish club as a free agent.
