On 12 August 2013, Terziev signed with Ludogorets Razgrad on a four-year deal for a reported fee of €500,000.[5][6] He was given the number 55 jersey.

Terziev then made his full A Group debut for Ludogorets on 1 December, partnering Alexandre Barthe for the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Beroe. On 12 December, he made his Europa League debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 win over Dinamo Zagreb at Maksimir.

Terziev scored his first goal in the Champions League group phase on 26 November 2014, grabbing a 2–2 equalizer against Liverpool in the 88th minute, in an eventual 2–2 draw.[7]

On 12 February 2016 he extended his contract with Ludogorets until 2019, after his contract was to end in the summer of 2016.[8]
