Club career

Pyunik

In the second round, he almost staked a place at the base. Direct participation of Yedigaryan allowed Pyunik to score a hat-trick in the 2010 season, when the team won the 2010 Armenian Premier League, 2010 Armenian Cup and 2010 Armenian Supercup.

In the summer of 2012, along with Pyunik teammate David Manoyan, he held interest in the Metalurh Donetsk. Manoyan later went onto play for Kuban Krasnodar, but the game of Yedigaryan attracted the attention of the coaching staff of Metalurh. In the near future, he was to be signed a contract between the parties on both sides.[1][2] On 9 July, in the conference room of a training base of FC Metalurh, the club's sporting director Vardan Israelyan and head coach Vladimir Pyatenko presented five newcomers, one of whom was Artak Yedigaryan. The agreement contract was for 3 years. He played on the team as number 21.[3]
