Alyaksandr Martynovich, born on 26 August 1987 (age 39), is a Belarusian central defender with a commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m) frame and a career built on durability more than decoration.
His early loan spells helped harden him into a senior defender, but the substance of his career came at Krasnodar. Across 10 seasons there, he made 197 league appearances and scored five league goals, becoming a long-serving presence rather than a passing squad name.
There was a later productive spell at Rubin Kazan, where the 2023-2024 league season brought three goals in 20 appearances – his best scoring return in league football.
Martynovich is now with Kairat. In 2026 he has made one Europa League qualifying appearance and four in Champions League qualifying, giving him five appearances in all competitions for the club. He has also represented Belarus in two European World Cup qualifiers.
It is a career shaped mainly by his Krasnodar years, with later spells adding weight rather than changing the outline. For a central defender, that is usually how these things work.
