Allsvenskan and Halmstads BK

In 2007 Halmstads BK goalkeeper Magnus Bahne got injured and missed the rest of the season, Halmstad then only had one fit goalkeeper, making the club looking for a new goalkeeper for the remainder of the season and the choice became Kazakhstan international David Loriya. However, his Scandinavian journey did not last long and returned home shortly after playing only 7 games. Loriya's contract was terminated in June 2014 before going on to sign with Karşıyaka.

Kairat

On 24 August 2018, Loriya signed for FC Kairat as a free agent, on a short-term contract until the end of the 2018 season.
