Club career

[edit]

Europe

[edit]

Shpuk began his professional career in 2006 with FC Chornohora Ivano-Frankivsk in the Ukrainian Second League. He signed with FC Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk, and helped the club achieve a promotion to the Ukrainian First League. In 2007, he signed with FC Naftovyk-Ukrnafta Okhtyrka of the Ukrainian Premier League. After failing to break into the senior team, he signed with Skala Stryi in 2010.[2]

In 2011, he played in the Ukrainian First League with FC Lviv.[3] In his debut season in the second tier, he made 2 appearances with Lviv.[4] The following season he returned to his former club Skala in the third tier.[5][6] He would make 26 appearances for the club.[4]

Shpuk returned to the country's top-tier league for the 2013-14 season with Karpaty Lviv.[7][8][9] Once again he failed to make an appearance in the premier league due to miscommunications with the team administration.[10][11] In late 2013, he had a trial session with FC Poltava.[12][13]

In early 2014, he went across the border to Poland to sign with Polonia Przemyśl of Liga III.[14][15] Following his brief stint abroad he returned to the Ukrainian second tier by securing a deal with Nyva Ternopil.[16][17][18] In the winter of 2015, he departed from the Ternopil.[19][20] In total, he played in 12 matches for Nyva.[4]

Canada

[edit]

After his release from Ternopil, he was linked with a move abroad to the Canadian Soccer League with Toronto Atomic.[21] He would ultimately sign with Toronto for the 2015 season.[22][23][24][25] He made his debut on May 9, 2015 against Niagara United.[26] He helped Toronto secure a playoff berth by finishing fifth in the First Division.[27] Toronto was eliminated in the opening round of the postseason by SC Waterloo Region.[28]

Shpuk would re-sign with Toronto for the 2016 season.[29] Atomic once more secured a playoff spot where the Serbian White Eagles eliminated them from the competition in the first round.[30]

In 2022, he returned to the CSL to play with the expansion franchise Toronto Falcons.[31] He re-signed with the Falcons for the 2023 season.[32] Shpuk participated in the Royal CSL Cup tribute match where Toronto won the title in a penalty shootout against the Serbs.[33]
