His started his career at his home town club Neman Grodno before moving to BATE in 2014. He then moved on to France with Nancy from 2016 to 2019 before moving back to BATE to make seven appearances. He started the 2020 season with Kazakhstani Premier League side FC Irtysh Pavlodar. Has 19 International caps for Belarus and is the current record holder for number of consecutive minutes (1,073) played in the Premier League without conceding a goal which he set playing for BATE in 2015.
Egor Filipenko - BATE Borisov. Highly experienced defender aged 32 who joins from rival's BATE Borisov. He has 52 International caps for Belarus and began his career with BATE back in 2004. He also counts Spartak Moscow, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Malaga as former clubs. He is a seven time title winner in Belarus during his various spells with BATE whom he made 24 appearances for last season.
Igor Stasevich - BATE Borisov. Many Belarusian fans will tell you Igor has been the best player in the league for a number of years. At 35 years of age the midfielder still is a firm fixtures in the Belarus International side where he currently had 61 caps. He started his career with BATE in 2004 and has also played for Gomel, Dynamo Minsk and had a very brief spell with Russian club Volga Nizhny Novgorod in 2010. He has played over 250 times for BATE and scored over 50 goals. His move to Shakhtyor is likely to be the final one in his illustrious career where he has won the Premier League title nine times with BATE - Could he make it 10 in the 2021 season?
Valon Ahmedi - KF Shkëndija (North Macedonia). Attacking Midfielder aged 26 who has also played in Italy, Slovenia, Israel and Croatia. He played in the UEFA Champions League group stages in 2017/18 whilst with NK Maribor and featured in the both of their games against Liverpool. Its been reported that Shakhtyor paid a fee of 100,000 euros for his services.
Pavel Zabelin - Neman Grodno. Midfielder who impressed for Neman Grodno last season. The 25 year old came through the ranks at Neman spending time on loan with Baranovichi in 2016 and Granit Mikashevichi in 2016 and 2017. He scored 7 goals in 27 appearances in the 2020 season. He has never been capped for Belarus but I'm sure this honour may be coming his way in 2021.
Eze Vincent Okeuhie - Čukarički (Serbia). Nigerian midfielder, 27, who joins after a two season spell in the Serbian Super Liga. He has also played for Vojvodina in Serbia and played in Turkey and Cyprus. It's been reported a fee of 300,000 euros has been paid to secure his signature.

Scored 8 goals in 26 games in the Uzebekistan Super League last season. It's reported a fee of 150,000 euros has been paid for the transfer. Roman Debelko - Riga (Latvia). Ukrainian forward, 27, who helped Riga to the Virslīga title in 2020 with 4 goals in 16 games. Has also played in Estonia as well as Ukraine. He is 6ft 1inch so has lots of height to use against the defences he comes up against in the 2021 season.
Gleb Shevchenko - Slavia Mozyr. Midfielder who player 24 league games for Slavia last season and became a cult hero amongst fans in the United Kingdom because of his dreadlocked hair which he trimmed half way through the season. Aged 21 he has represented Belarus at u21, u19 and u18 level. May struggle to find a regular spot in the first team with all the players who have come into Shakhtyor.
Dembo Darboe (KF ShkupI - North Macedonia). A fee of 700,000 euros was reported to be paid secure attacker Darboe's services which seems a huge amount of money for a Belarusian team to play. The 22 year old Gambian has scored 17 goals in 19 league and cup games for his KF Shkupi in the 2020/21 season which began in August. One thing to note is that four of those goals came in two games against bottom of the table Belasica with a hat-trick netted against Pelister who are also struggling in the relegation zone. The money paid for him may well shine a spotlight on his performances and he will need to hit the ground running - He played well assisting a goal and scoring a goal in Shakhtyor's opening season 3-0 victory against Neman in the Cup quarter-final.
