Academy and second team

Before joining Ludogorets, Yankov spent 5 years in a private Canadian academy. After that he moved to Sunderland where he spent 3 years, but after his parents decided to return to Bulgaria, they chose the Ludogorets academy as the best place for him to continue his career.[3]

Yankov made his debut in the UEFA Youth League for Ludogorets on 27 September 2017 in the first round of Dominic champions path against Željezničar Sarajevo.[4]

On 27 May 2017, in the last league match of the season, Yankov was set on bench in the match against Spartak Pleven, but remained on bench the whole match.[5][6] He completed his debut for the dubles on 13 August 2017 in a league match against Nesebar.[7]

First team

In February 2018 Ludogorets manager Dimitar Dimitrov took Yankov in the first team.[8] Yankov made an unofficial debut for the team in a winter break friendly against the Romanian club Botoșani [9] He completed his debut for the team on 12 May 2018 in a league match against Levski Sofia.[10][11]

Loan to Botev Vratsa

On 1 August 2019 Yankov was sent on loan to the fellow First League team Botev Vratsa until end of the year with an option to extend the loan until the end of the season. [12] He made his debut for the team three days later in a league match against CSKA Sofia, coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute.[13] In his first match as a starter on 16 August against Slavia Sofia, Yankov scored his first goal for the team and also assisted another.[14]
