Konstantin Pliev

Konstantin Pliev came through the Spartak Vladikavkaz academy, breaking into the first team in 2014 just as the club was rebranded FC Alania Vladikavkaz. A move to FC Volgar Astrakhan in the winter of 2016 gave his career an early lift: that December he was picked for the FNL Select Team and played a friendly against Cyprus U21 in Limassol.

FC Rostov signed him in February 2018, but rather than settling in at the parent club he spent the following seasons out on loan — first at FC Baltika Kaliningrad, then at FC Rubin Kazan. A third loan, to FC Ufa in September 2020, proved decisive. Pliev did enough there that Ufa moved to make the deal permanent the following February, structuring it as a swap that sent midfielder Kirill Folmer to Rostov in exchange for his signature. At Ufa he won an FNL bronze medal, the clearest team honour of his career so far.

In December 2022 he returned to the club where he started, FC Alania Vladikavkaz, on a contract reported to run three and a half years. That second spell at Alania lasted until the summer of 2025, when he moved on to SKA-Khabarovsk.

Pliev has spent his career largely in the Russian Premier League and First League without adding senior or youth international caps to his record.
