Playing career[]
Early years[]
Oleksandr Babych is a product of the Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Youth system.
Hirnyk-Sport Komsomolsk and Kremin Kremenchuk[]
After playing for Dnipro-2 in 1997, he left to play for Hirnyk-Sport Komsomolsk and Kremin Kremenchuk during the 1997–98 season.
Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk[]
From 1998 to 2001, Babych stayed again with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. He spent most of his playing time with the reserve teams Dnipro-2 and Dnipro-3; he did, however, play in a few games for the senior team.
Polihraftekhnika Oleksandriya[]
He was transferred to Polihraftekhnika Oleksandriya for the 2001–02 season. Babych scored the only goal in the relegation play-off game against Polissya Zhytomyr that allowed the Oleksandriya team to stay in the top tier.
Anzhi Makhachkala[]
He was then spotted by the Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala and was transferred to the club in 2003, playing there until 2005.
Metalist Kharkiv[]
His next stop was Metalist Kharkiv. At Metalist, he soon became the vice-captain and played a vital role in the team’s defence.
Chornomorets Odesa[]
In February 2009, he moved to Chornomorets Odesa, where he was chosen captain on 15 July 2010, prior to the start of the 2010–11 season. The subsequent two seasons of his career were, however, marred by injuries, and Babych had to retire as a player on 2 March 2012.
Managerial career[]
He immediately became the manager of the Chornomorets youth squad, though.
Personal life[]
Babych is currently married to Natalia and has a daughter named Violetta.
