Club career

edit

On 17 March 2014, Komlichenko made his debut in the Russian Premier League for Krasnodar in a game against Tom Tomsk.[2]

After playing for the Czech club Mladá Boleslav on loan for 1.5 years, he moved to the club on a permanent basis on 30 January 2019, signing a 3.5-year contract.[3] He became the top scorer of the Czech First League in the 2018–19 season with 29 goals.[citation needed]

On 25 January 2020, he signed a 4.5-year contract with Russian Premier League club FC Dynamo Moscow.[4] In his first game for Dynamo on 29 February 2020 against Spartak Moscow, he came on as a second-half substitute and two of his shots hit the goalpost and the cross-bar as Dynamo lost 2–0. In the next game on 7 March 2020 against FC Tambov he started and scored the only goal of the game in a 1–0 victory. He was voted player of the month by Dynamo fans for February/March 2020 (only one game was played in February after the winter break and Russian Premier League was suspended on 17 March due to COVID-19 pandemic in Russia).[5]

On 11 June 2021, Komlichenko joined FC Rostov on loan with an option to purchase.[6] On 10 July 2022, he moved to Rostov on a permanent basis and signed a four-year contract.[7] On 1 June 2025, following Rostov's loss in the 2025 Russian Cup final, Komlichenko announced that this was his last match for Rostov as he will leave the club.[8]

In June 2025, Komlichenko signed for Lokomotiv Moscow on a three-year deal.[9] In May 2026, Komlichenko underwent surgery for a knee ligament injury.[10]
