Valery Evgenievich Sorokin is a Russian footballer who played as a midfielder. He played for Tomsk "Tom", "SKA-Energy", "Solaris" and "Tambov". In 2018 he finished his playing career.
Biography
The future footballer was born in January 1985 on the sixth in the Russian city of Stavropol. From an early age he was a very active child, but he did not have much interest in football. Valery's parents enrolled in the acrobatics section. A little later, he started playing volleyball. When the boy first saw a football match live, he immediately decided to engage exclusively in this sport. In 1994, his parents took Valery to the local sports school "Dynamo", where he began to take his first steps in football.
Six years later, the Sorokin family moved to Moscow. The aspiring footballer managed to be attached to the football academy of "Spartak", where he lasted only one year. Later Sorokin spent a year at the Lokomotiv school.
Professional career
In 2004 Valery ended up at the Dynamo Moscow academy. Having proved to the management that he is ready to play and give all his best, Sorokin signed his first professional contract with the club. From the next year, he became a full-fledged footballer. In July 2005, he entered the field for the first time in the main team of Dynamo. The debut took place within the framework of the national cup, at the 1/16 stage of the draw against the football club "Dynamo" from Bryansk.
In November of the same year, he was announced for a match against CSKA Moscow in the national championship. Valery Sorokin came on as a substitute at the end of the meeting. During the season, he only appeared on the field twice in the main command staff and spent a total of 21 minutes on the field.
The guy was gaining shape noticeably, but he lacked experience and practice to play in the Russian Premier League. In order for the player to continue to grow, the management decided to send him on loan. A club from the football national league (the lower division) responded, and Sorokin went to Spartak Nizhny Novgorod. For Valery, the season was quite satisfactory, he regularly appeared on the field and tried to work to the maximum. But the club itself did not cope with the installation for the season: according to the results of the rally, Spartak did not go for promotion and did not get into the Premier League, after which the management disbanded the team. Valery returned to Dynamo Moscow.
In 2008, he moved to the Belgian club "Brussels", where the Russian midfielder spent one season. Later he moved to Ghent, where he practically did not appear on the field. In 2010, Sorokin returned to Russia and became a player in Dynamo Bryansk. From 2012 to 2015 he played for the Tomsk club "Tom". Valery's last club was Zorkiy, in which he spent one season, and at the end of the contract in 2018, he decided to end his playing career.
Personal life
The famous sportsman is married. But Sorokin prefers not to talk about his personal life and does not particularly advertise any intra-family events.
