Ilya Hulko has officially ended his stint at "Zorya" after the club announced an early termination of his contract on their website. The 22-year-old midfielder's departure marks another quiet exit in Ukrainian football this season.
The Shakhtar youth product joined "Zorya" in spring 2022 but struggled to make an impact, appearing in just two matches during his time with the club. Not the most impressive record, is it? During his contract, Hulko spent time on loan at both "Kudrovka-Nyva" and "Minaj" seeking more playing opportunities.
Meanwhile, "Epitsenter" has also bid farewell to striker Ivan Demydenko. The club didn't provide any reasons behind the departure of the 22-year-old forward, keeping things under wraps.
Demydenko's statistics look slightly more substantial than Hulko's. Since joining "Epitsenter" in spring last year, he managed to clock eight appearances, finding the net once and providing four assists for his teammates.
Interestingly, both players are the same age and now find themselves looking for new opportunities in their young careers. Where will these prospects land next? The Ukrainian transfer market continues to shuffle as clubs adjust their rosters ahead of future competitions.
