With Marek Cech and Aleksandr Krivoruchko leaving Lokomotiv at the end of the season, the Railwaymen wasted no time to make for such loss and after days of rumours, they finally made the capture of Anton Amelchenko official. The Belarussian international keeper, who passed last year turning out for Rostov joined Lokomotiv, on a free transfer and signed a contract of 3 years. Anton has yet to be given a number.
The Belarussian keeper, who had a year (2010) to remember after being voted as Rostov's Player of the Season by Rostov fans started his career at Gomel. After impressing at a tender age for Gomel, FC Moscow or better Yury Belous (current Lokomotic technical director) brought him to Russia. This happened in 2006. Anton stayed at the Moscow club till the disbandment of the club in 2009 and during his 3 year stay with the Citizens he found limited playing time as for much of the time he was deputy to international teammate Yury Zhevnov. Nevertheless, the Gomel-born still managed to make 15 appearances for FC Moscow. As aforementioned, soon after breaking free from FC Moscow Amelchenko moved on to Rostov and in Rostov he managed to showcase his talents and become a key player in the process. Nevertheless, despite signing a three year contract and making 23 appearances for Rostov, his contract was terminated after just one year for infringement and Lokomotiv immediately pounced on the 6 times capped Belarussian international keeper and made Anton the second signing of the offseason.
When interviewed, Anton Amelchenko commented that this move was a big step for his career. He added that although he is aware that he will make deputy to Guilherme, he does not fear competition and he will compete with the Brazilian keeper for the goalkeeping spot.
ALL THE BEST ANTON!!!
