Nikita Ivanovich Korzun (Belarusian: Мікіта Іванавіч Корзун; Russian: Никита Иванович Корзун; born 6 March 1995) is a Belarusian professional football player who plays for Kazakhstani club Yelimay and the Belarus national team.

Club career

Dinamo Minsk

A product of the Dinamo Minsk youth system, Korzun made his senior debut on 17 November 2012, when he came on as a stoppage-time substitute in a 2–0 away victory against FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino.[1][2] Over the next 3 seasons, he went on to make 67 appearances for the club across all tournaments.[3]

Dynamo Kyiv

On 1 February 2016, Korzun signed a 5-year contract with Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv.[4] However, he struggled to win a regular place in the side, and didn't make his debut until 14 May 2016 (4-1 road victory against FC Metalist Kharkiv).[5] Over the next two seasons, Korzun played sparingly, mostly as a substitute.

On 24 July 2018, it was announced that Korzun would return to Dinamo Minsk on loan, until the end of the season.[6]

In January 2019, he joined Saudi team Al-Fateh on loan until January 2020.[7]

International career

Korzun represented Belarus at all levels of youth football. He made his senior team debut on 27 May 2016 in Belfast, in a 3-0 friendly loss to Northern Ireland.[8][9]
