Serhiy Dolhanskyi

Native of Zdolbuniv in Volhynian region, Dolhanskyi started his professional football career in Veres Rivne. He took part in the first football season after Ukraine gained its full independence from the Soviet Union. That season the Rivne club played in the second tier but gained promotion at the end. Dolhanskyi made a debut appearance on 17 March 1992 in away match against Krystal Chortkiv when he came out on substitution on 80th minute replacing a Russian goalkeeper Viktor Derbunov and yielded a tying goal from the Chortkiv team's captain Vyacheslav Baklanov, which ended the match 2:2. During the 1992 season Dolhanskyi only played in two matches and in both was substituting the club's main goalie Derbunov. Upon the promotion, the next season Dolhanskyi became a regular on the first team of Veres and played the whole first half of the season. Following the winter break he was transferred to the former Soviet top club Metalist Kharkiv, but only recorded three matches with them by end of the second half of the season. He remained with Metalist for the next season but spent the second half of it on the bench. After relegation of Metalist, next season 1994–95 Dolhanskyi returned to Veres with which he also placed last in the tournament table. For the 1995–96 season Dolhanskyi transferred to the vice-champions of Ukraine Chornomorets Odesa and made his debut at club's continental competitions coming on substitution for Oleh Suslov in home match against the Maltese Hibernians.…
