He made his Ukrainian Premier League debut for Mariupol on 18 March 2018 in a game against Shakhtar Donetsk.[2]

On 18 July 2022, he joined Polish I liga club Zagłębie Sosnowiec on a loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy.[3] He joined the club on a permanent basis on 4 July the following year, signing a one-year contract.[4] In April 2024, he underwent a ligament reconstruction procedure after suffering a PCL injury.[5] In spite of this, and the club's relegation to the third division, Bykov's contract was extended for another year on 15 June 2024.[6] He was released by Zagłębie at the end of June 2025.[7]

On 27 June 2025, Bykov agreed to a season-long deal with II liga club Chojniczanka Chojnice.[8]
