Nikita Demchenko

Nikita Demchenko came through the Dinamo Minsk academy, joining the club's youth system in 2016 and moving up to the reserve side two years later before signing his first senior contract in 2019. A loan spell at Smolevichi in 2020, where he made a dozen appearances, saw him return to Dinamo Minsk to play under Vadim Skripchenko.

In May 2024, a goal against Slavia Mozyr was voted the league's Best Goal of the Month. He added another the following season, against Torpedo-BelAZ, and picked up two Belarusian Premier League titles with Dinamo Minsk along the way, as well as a Super Cup. The 2024 Super Cup final ended in defeat to Torpedo-BelAZ. Demchenko also broke through at international level, scoring his first goal for Belarus against Azerbaijan in March 2025.

In January 2026 he left for Portugal, joining Vizela in the Liga Portugal 2. Playing time proved hard to come by at senior level, where he made only two appearances, though he found the net for the club's under-23 side against Portimonense U23 that April. By June 2026 he had moved on again, this time to Russian First League side Spartak Kostroma, with Vizela retaining a sell-on clause in the deal.
