Yehor Romanovych Yarmolyuk (Ukrainian: Єгор Романович Ярмолюк; born 1 March 2004), sometimes known as Yehor Yarmoliuk,[3] is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Brentford as a central midfielder.
Yarmolyuk is a product of the Dnipro-1 academy and made his senior debut for the club in 2020. He transferred to Brentford in 2022. Yarmolyuk has been capped by Ukraine at youth level.
Club career
[edit]SC Dnipro-1
[edit]A central midfielder,[4] Yarmolyuk is a product of a number of youth sportive schools of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and in May 2019, at age 15, he signed a three-year contract with Ukrainian Premier League club SC Dnipro-1.[5] His progression was such that he made two first team appearances late in the 2019–20 season.[2] Yarmolyuk's second appearance made him the second youngest player to start a match in the history of the Ukrainian top flight, at the age of 16 years and 140 days.[6] Yarmolyuk signed a new three-year contract in October 2020.[7] He went on to make 19 further appearances during the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons,[8] before the latter season was curtailed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9] Yarmolyuk scored one senior goal for the club, in a 2–1 Ukrainian Cup round of 32 win over VPK-Ahro Shevchenkivka on 22 September 2021.[2]
Brentford
[edit]2022–23
[edit]On 14 July 2022, Yarmolyuk transferred to Premier League club Brentford and signed a three-year contract, with the option of a further year,[9] for a fee reported to be €1.6 million.[10] He began his Brentford career with the club's B team,[9] but made two pre-season friendly substitute appearances for the first team.[11][12] Following two Premier League matches as an unused substitute,[2] Yarmolyuk made his senior debut for the club as a substitute during the second half of an EFL Cup third round shoot-out defeat to Gillingham on 8 November 2022.[13] He was included in the first team squad for its mid-season training camp in Girona and made three friendly appearances during the period.[14][15][16] Yarmolyuk made 16 B team appearances and scored three goals prior to missing much of the second half of the 2022–23 season with a torn hamstring.[4][10]
2023–24
[edit]Yarmolyuk was promoted into the first team squad in June 2023 and signed a new five-year contract, with the option of a further year.[17] He returned fit for the 2023–24 pre-season and made his first appearance of the regular season with a start in a EFL Cup second round shoot-out win over Newport County on 29 August 2023.[17][18] Following four substitute appearances in Premier League matches,[2] injury to Mathias Jensen allowed Yarmolyuk to make his maiden Premier League start for the club in a 1–0 defeat to Arsenal on 25 November 2023.[19][20] He made three further starts before the end of 2023 and Yarmolyuk's progress in the calendar year was recognised in the U19 category of the Golden talent of Ukraine award.[2][21] Yarmolyuk ended the 2023–24 season with 30 appearances.[18]
International career
[edit]Yarmolyuk has been capped by Ukraine at youth level.[2] On 16 May 2024, Yarmolyuk was named as a reserve in the senior Ukraine squad for a pre-Euro 2024 training camp and series of friendly matches.[22] Two weeks later, he was called into the U23 team's 2024 Maurice Revello Tournament squad.[23] Yarmolyuk made four appearances in the tournament, scoring once and he converted a penalty in the shoot-out that decided the final versus Ivory Coast in Ukraine's favour.[2][24]
Style of play
[edit]A central midfielder, Yarmolyuk can also "play as a number 6, 8 or even 10" and "is a very good pressing player, has a little bit of bite in his pressure and his technical abilities are good in terms of passing".[4][25]
