Anatoly Kozlenko

Anatoly Kozlenko came through the Dynamo Kyiv academy before his career took him well beyond Ukraine. Since leaving Kyiv, he has built his career almost entirely abroad, moving through Poland with GKS Tychy and Ruch Chorzów, spending two years in Switzerland with Wohlen, and then continuing further afield to Georgia's Gagra and Kyrgyzstan's Dordoi Bishkek. Each move came as a free transfer, a pattern that has held throughout his career and continued when he joined Kyzyl-Zhar in January 2025 on a contract running to the end of 2026.

At 193 cm, Kozlenko brings obvious physical presence to the back line, and his right foot has been his tool through every stop on that winding path. He has not featured for Ukraine at senior international level, and his time in Kazakhstan has so far been a mix of steady service and at least one costly lapse in discipline: a red card against Zhenis in 2025 cost him a suspension for the 22nd round of the Kazakhstan Premier League.

There are no major trophies or individual awards on his record yet.
