Evgeny Elezarenko
Evgeny Aleksandrovich Elezarenko is a Belarusian football player who currently plays as a midfielder for Cherven "Kolos". Born in Osipovichi, he began his football career under the guidance of his father, Alexander Nikolaevich Elezarenko, who was also his coach. This early exposure to the sport led him to study in a special football class at the Minsk Suvorov School, where he eventually joined Dynamo-2.
Elezarenko's professional journey began in 2012 when he moved to Novopolotsk "Naftan", a team with which he made his debut. In the following season, new head coach Pavel Kucherov brought him into the main team, and Elezarenko quickly established himself as a supporting midfielder. By the 2014 season, he had become an integral part of the Naftan squad, playing in multiple matches before suffering injuries that kept him out for several weeks.
Following his recovery from injury, Elezarenko joined Soligorsk Shakhtar in January 2016 and signed a contract with the team. Initially, he served as a replacement player but soon became a regular starter. However, an injury suffered by Elezarenko in September 2016 forced him to miss the remainder of the season.
In February 2017, after recovering from his injury, Elezarenko trained with Shakhtar before being loaned out to Gomel for a short period. Although he initially struggled to regain his place in the starting lineup, he eventually returned to Shakhtar at the end of the lease. In early 2018, Elezarenko joined Slutsk after missing the team's first training camp due to illness.
Elezarenko played for Slutsk from March 2018 until July of that year, making only three appearances in the championship and two cup matches. He then moved on to Minsk Torpedo, bringing an end to his six-month stint with the "blue and white" club. Throughout his career, Elezarenko has demonstrated a strong work ethic and adaptability, having played for several teams across Belarus.
