About the player
Iliya Yurukov's football education began in the academy at Ludogorets Razgrad, where he spent six years before moving on to Levski Sofia's youth setup. The step up to first-team football came on 7 May 2017, when he made his debut for Levski Sofia in a 1-0 match against Cherno More. He went on to make 48 appearances for the club without scoring, spending four years on Levski's books before his contract there ran its course.
In July 2021, Yurukov joined Arda Kardzhali as a free agent. In August 2025, he returned to Bulgarian football with Botev Vratsa. None of his moves between clubs have involved a transfer fee.
He has not been called up to the senior national team.
