Arshak Rafaelyevich Koryan (Armenian: Արշակ Կորյան; Russian: Аршак Рафаэльевич Корян; born 17 June 1995) is an Armenian professional footballer who plays as a winger (left or right) for SKA-Khabarovsk.

Club career

Born in Sochi, Koryan started his career at Lokomotiv Moscow. After progressing through the club's youth system, he was an unused substitute in a 0–1 away loss against CSKA Moscow.

On 3 February 2015, Koryan signed for Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse, being initially assigned to Jong Vitesse.[1] On 21 May, he renewed his contract for a further year.[2] On 8 June 2016, Koryan was promoted to the main squad and was assigned the no. 30 shirt.[3] He made his professional debut on 6 August, replacing Mitchell van Bergen in the 81st minute of a 4–1 away win against Willem II.[4] On 31 March 2017, it was announced that Koryan would leave Vitesse along with Wouter Dronkers and Ewout Gouw at the end of their current deals in June 2017.[5]

On 12 July 2017, Koryan returned to Lokomotiv Moscow as a free agent.[6] He left Lokomotiv upon the expiration of his contract on 30 June 2019.[7]

On 1 July 2019, he signed with Khimki.[8] On 4 March 2021, he extended his contract with Khimki.[9]

On 13 August 2021, he joined Orenburg on loan for the 2021–22 season.[10]

On 19 August 2022, Koryan was loaned to Alania Vladikavkaz.[11]

International career

He represented Russia on junior levels. Before the 2020–21 Russian Premier League season, the players from the countries that belong to Eurasian Economic Union (of which Armenia is one), stopped being considered foreign players in Russian leagues (there are restrictions on the number of foreign players per team). He made his debut for Armenia national football team on 5 September 2020 in a UEFA Nations League 1–2 loss against North Macedonia.[12]

Personal life

Koryan is the cousin of the Russian youth international Ruslan Koryan.[13]
