Key points
- Two-year contract with Ordabasy
- Free agent transfer from Polissya
- Champions League qualification participation
Kazakh club Ordabasy has officially confirmed the signing of Ukrainian winger Oleksiy Hutsulyak. The player has committed to a two-year contract after entering the market as a free agent following the expiration of his deal with Zhytomyr’s Polissya on July 1, 2026.
During his two seasons with Polissya, Hutsulyak made 65 appearances, contributing 20 goals and 10 assists. His form in 2025 was particularly notable, as he finished as the top scorer for the Ukraine national team, netting five goals in nine international matches.
According to Ordabasy ambassador Beibit Alibekov, the winger had received offers from clubs in the USA and Japan but ultimately chose to continue his career in Kazakhstan. It is expected that Hutsulyak will become one of the highest-paid players in the league. The club, which recently secured both the domestic league title and the national Cup, is now preparing for the upcoming Champions League qualification campaign.
