Kryuchkov Alexander is a Russian footballer who is currently playing for the Kaluga club. He is already 31 years old, so in a couple of years, most likely, he will end his professional career. Kryuchkov Alexander acts as a defensive midfielder, but can rise higher to the position of a central midfielder, he can also play as a right back.
Carier start
Kryuchkov Alexander was born on July 20, 1985 in the USSR, in the village of Dubrovka, located in the Tula region. He was not a great talent, he didn’t even practice football on a professional level, until in 2005, at the age of 20, he joined the Tula Arsenal. There he spent 34 matches, scoring five goals, which was an impressive start for him, but here he was waiting for an unpleasant surprise - the club was disbanded, so the young athlete had to look for a new job.
Football career
So, in 2008, Alexander Kryuchkov joined Spartak from Schelkovo. There he played one season, entering the field 42 times and scoring six goals, after which he moved to Istra, where he spent another successful season. The midfielder played 31 matches and scored six more goals, and in 2011 he moved to the Mostik club. There, he added 34 more matches and two goals to his account, and in 2012, when the resumption of the work of the Tula Arsenal was announced, Kryuchkov returned to his native club.
Return to Arsenal and transfer to Kaluga
Alexander Kryuchkov spent an excellent debut season at Arsenal, playing 21 matches and scoring 4 goals - he made a serious contribution to the club’s victory in the Second Division. However, he was seriously injured, and when he recovered, he could not find a place at the base, and he was sent to the double. In the 14/15 season, Kryuchkov played twenty matches for the second Arsenal team, scoring two goals, but did not want to put up with this situation, so he refused to renew the contract with the club. As a result, in the winter of 2016, he moved to Kaluga as a free agent. He spent ten months there and quickly became one of the key players in the team serving in one of the lower divisions. If we talk about high-level matches, Kryuchkov had three in the new team - in the second and third rounds Kaluga won, and in the fourth it was defeated by Tambov. Given the fact that Kryuchkov is already 31 years old, he is unlikely to try to return to the higher leagues. In “Kaluga” he feels more than comfortable, therefore, most likely, he will finish his career in this club. Or return to the Tula Arsenal to continue working there after completing a career.
