Anton Olegovich Shvets (Russian: Антон Олегович Швец, Ukrainian: Антон Олегович Швець, Georgian: ანტონ ოლეგოვიჩ შვეცი; born 26 April 1993) is a footballer who plays for Akhmat Grozny, as a defensive midfielder. Born in Ukraine, Shvets represents the Russia national football team internationally.

Club career[]

Born in Ukraine to a Ukrainian father and a Georgian mother, Shvets moved to Georgia at early age, and later moved to Russia.[2] In September 2010 he went on a trial at Real Zaragoza, but could not sign with the club due to his age;[3] he later returned to Russia and joined FC Spartak Moscow's youth setup.[4]

In the 2011 summer Shvets returned to Zaragoza, being assigned to the Juvenil squad. He made his senior debuts with Zaragoza's reserves in the 2011–12 campaign, appearing rarely in Segunda División B.

On 23 March 2014 Shvets played his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División championship.[5] On 19 June he moved to another reserve team, Villarreal CF B also in the third level.[6]

On 1 July 2017, he signed a 4-year contract with the Russian Premier League club FC Akhmat Grozny.[7]

International career[]

In March 2013, Shvets was called up to Georgia under-21's,[8] but refused to link up with the squad, committing himself to Russia.[2] He played his first full international for his country on 27 March 2018 against France, replacing Alexandr Yerokhin, the game Russia lost with a score of 1–3.[9]

On 11 May 2018, he was included in Russia's extended 2018 FIFA World Cup squad as a back-up,[10] but was excluded from the final list.[11]
