Stanislav Sharai

Stanislav Sharai's path to senior football ran through Olimpik Donetsk's academy, where he spent four years in the youth and reserve ranks without breaking into the first team, though the side did collect a silver medal in the Ukrainian Youth Championship along the way. The step up came instead through loan spells away from the club: nine appearances for Avangard Kramatorsk in the First League, followed by a short stint at Sumy. That second loan ended abruptly in 2018 when his contract was terminated — alongside that of his brother Vladyslav Sharai, who was at the club at the same time.

Sharai rebuilt his career at Alliance Lyubashivka, where he signed in April 2019 and made his professional debut that August. He made 56 appearances and scored 12 goals across three seasons, contributing to the club's promotion from the Ukrainian Second League to the First League.

That form earned him a free transfer to Veres Rivne in July 2022. Over two seasons in Rivne, split between the Premier League and First League, he made 36 appearances and scored three goals. In February 2024 he moved on loan to Viktoriya Mykolaivka, where 10 appearances were enough to persuade the club to sign him permanently that June once the loan expired.
