Alyaksandr Martynovich, born on 26 August 1987 (age 39), is a Belarusian central defender, a commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m) and built for the less romantic parts of the job.
His early career included loan spells that helped take him beyond the academy-stage version of a defender. That mattered. Martynovich developed into a senior centre-half through games rather than reputation, which is generally the better route.
Krasnodar gave his career its main shape. Across 10 seasons there, he made 197 league appearances and scored five league goals, becoming a long-serving presence rather than a passing name on a squad list. That spell carries far more weight than the shorter stops around it.
His most productive league season came later at Rubin Kazan in 2023-24, when he scored three times in 20 appearances. In 2026 with Kairat, he has played once in Europa League qualifying, four times in Champions League qualifying and once in the Conference League.
Martynovich’s career is that of an experienced Belarusian centre-half shaped above all by Krasnodar, with useful early loan experience, a productive Rubin Kazan season, and a later spell at Kairat in continental competition.
