Career
editBorn in Artsyz, Serdenyuk is a product of the FC Chornomorets youth system.
He played for Chornomorets Odesa in the Ukrainian Premier League Reserves and transferred to Real Pharma Odesa in July 2016. But one year later, in July 2017, Serdenyuk returned again to FC Chornomorets in the Ukrainian Premier League. He made his debut on 22 July 2017 against FC Stal Kamianske.[1]
On 1 September 2022, he signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club Shamrock Rovers, having previously moved to Ireland to escape the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, rather than stay and fight.[2][3] In doing so, he became the first Ukrainian player to play in the Irish Premier Division. He also won the 2022 League of Ireland Premier Division with Shamrock Rovers. On 3 January 2023, it was announced that he had signed for League of Ireland First Division side Longford Town.[4]
