Gegham Kadymyan (Armenian: Գեղամ Կադիմյան; born 19 October 1992) is a professional Armenian football striker who plays for Vorskla Poltava.
Club career
Kadymyan is the product of Armenian FC Pyunik Sportive School System where his first trainer was Serzh Sargsyan and FC Arsenal Kharkiv, where he joined in age 14. He spent large part of his career as a player in three clubs of the Ukrainian Second League and the Ukrainian First League.[1]
In January 2014 he signed 2,5 years deal with Ukrainian Premier League's club FC Hoverla Uzhhorod.[2] After playing just one game in 6 months, he was transferred to Olimpik Donetsk - where he shone, scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists in all competitions, thus helping the team stay in the Premier League. After one and a half year in Donetsk, he signed for Karpaty Lviv in February 2016. His debut was with an assist against Dinamo Kiev. Nevertheless, after an injury stroke year, he could not score with Karpaty for league games. Due to financial reasons, Kadimyan was amongst the 5 players whom the club couldn't afford, so he was transferred to Zorya Luhansk. Unfortunately, his career in Luhansk was plagued with injuries, thus he only got to play 4 games in his short stay at Zorya, before he was once again transferred to Vorskla Poltava
International career
At 23 years old he played his first international FIFA game, representing Armenia against Belarus. The game ended in a goalless draw and Gegham played the last 20 minutes in the left wing. He scored his first international goal in a friendly against Guatemala on May 28, 2016 at the Stubhub Center in Carson, California. A group of his relatives from Los Angeles went to the stadium and stood out as they were holding a series of separate banners that spelled "G-O K-A-D-I-M-Y-A-N".
