He made his debut in the Russian Premier League for FC Rostov on 19 June 2020 in a game against PFC Sochi.[1] FC Rostov was forced to field their Under-18 squad in that game as their main squad was quarantined after 6 players tested positive for COVID-19.[2][3] Despite allowing 10 goals in a 1–10 loss, he was selected player of the game[4] as he made 15 saves (setting the Russian Premier League record)[5], including a saved penalty kick by Anton Zabolotny.
