Career

Kovtalyuk is a product of the Knyazha Shchaslyve and UFK-Karpaty Lviv academies.[1]

In 2018, he netted 21 goals for Georgian side Dila Gori, just one short of the best result shown in the league. Subsequently, Kovtalyuk was named in the symbolic team of the year.[2]

In February 2019, Kovtalyuk moved to South Korea, signing with Anyang.[3]

Seven months later he returned to Dila Gori on a deal until the end of 2020.[4] Following the 2020 season, apart from becoming a top goalscorer of the league, he was named the best forward and foreign player of the season and included in Team of the Season again.[5]

On 4 March 2021, he signed for FC Akzhayik.[6]

In February 2023, his third spell with Dila began.[7]
