Nikolay Bochko

Nikolay Bochko spent his formative years in the Krasnodar academy system, working his way up through the club's youth ranks to the UEFA Youth League with the under-19 side. He never made the step up to Krasnodar's first team, but came close: during the 2020 Champions League campaign he was named among the club's reserve list, training and travelling with the squad without ever getting onto the pitch in a competitive match. Most of his football in those years came for Krasnodar-2, where he made around 68 appearances between 2018 and 2021.

Leaving Krasnodar as a free agent in the summer of 2021, Bochko joined SKA Rostov-on-Don, where he spent two seasons and made roughly two dozen appearances. A short spell with Alushta in Crimea followed in early 2023 before he settled at Dynamo Kirov that July. It became the longest stop of his career: 74 league appearances and four goals across nearly three seasons. A brief move to Tekstilshchik Ivanovo at the start of 2026 lasted only nine appearances before he left the club mid-season.

In July 2026 Bochko signed for BATE Borisov on a free transfer, taking his career outside Russia for the first time. He made his debut for the club in the Belarusian Premier League the following month and has since featured in BATE's UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying campaign.

At youth international level, Bochko was capped three times for Russia's under-19 side and once for the under-20s, without scoring for either.
