Artem Kozak

Artem Kozak came through Dynamo Kyiv's youth ranks, then moved abroad to PAOK's academy in Greece, where he won the Greek Youth Championship with the club's under-19 side in the 2017–18 season. A return to Dynamo Kyiv's senior squad brought no first-team football, and it was only at Arsenal Kyiv, in February 2019, that Kozak made his Ukrainian Premier League debut, scoring once in ten appearances. From there his career took the shape of a player moving club by club. A free move to Karpaty Lviv preceded a switch to Chornomorets Odesa, where he was part of the squad that won the Ukrainian First League title in the 2020–21 season. Polissya Zhytomyr, joined on a free transfer in July 2021, is where Kozak spent the most time, scoring 13 goals in 60 league appearances as a key midfielder. A move to Oleksandriya followed in August 2024, and he was on the books there as the club finished as Ukrainian Premier League runners-up in the 2024–25 season, though his own contribution in 32 appearances was a single goal. Kozak has also represented Ukraine at under-18 and under-21 level, without adding a senior cap. He joins Epitsentr Dunayivtsi as a free agent after his contract at Oleksandriya expired.
