On 16 March 2021, FC Astana announced that they had re-signed Kuat after he'd previously played for the club between 2010 and 2014.[7]
International
Kuat became very well known in Turkey, thanks to his goal against Latvia, which enabled the Turkish team to qualify direct as the best third-placed side in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying. It was even suggested that a street in Istanbul be named in honour of Kuat, while more than one fan on social media promised to name their children in honour of the midfielder. A dozen Turkish fans presented him with gifts and a bouquet of flowers, and thanked him personally at half-time during Kairat's game against Atyrau on 17 October.[8]
