Andrey Kasadzhirov

For a season Andrey Kasadzhirov was carried on Zenit St Petersburg's senior list without playing a minute of football for them. The first-team registration in 2025 brought no appearances; his football that year was played one level down, at Zenit-2, where he made 18 appearances and scored 7 goals.

The route to that point ran entirely through one city. He joined SShOR Zenit in 2022 and spent two years there before moving up to the club's under-19 side for the 2024–2025 season, then on to Zenit-2 in 2025. No fee was reported at any stage.

The move that changed his week-to-week football came in the summer of 2026. On 11 July 2026 Zenit and Orenburg announced a loan for the 2026/2027 season, and the timing was unusually direct: fifteen days later, on 26 July, Kasadzhirov was on the pitch for Orenburg in the opening fixture of the Russian Premier League season, against Rostov. It was his first appearance in the top flight.

He kept his place. By the end of August 2026 he had made five appearances for Orenburg and scored twice — a return, in his first weeks in the division, of a goal every other match. The loan runs to the end of the season, with the parent club's registration still in place behind it.

He has no senior international caps and no individual awards on record.
