Alyaksandr Martynovich, born on 26 August 1987 (age 38), is a Belarusian central defender with Kairat. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is an imposing defender, and his career has been built around the sort of reliability clubs tend to notice only when it is missing.
His early loan football gave him the first-team grounding before the long, substantial part of his career at Krasnodar. That spell is the main body of his CV: 197 league appearances and five league goals across 10 seasons. For a centre-half, that says enough without needing much garnish.
He later had a productive league season at Rubin Kazan in 2023–24, scoring three goals in 20 appearances. It was a useful late-career chapter rather than a reinvention, with Martynovich still operating in the role that had carried him through most of his football.
Now with Kairat, he has made two Champions League qualifying appearances and five Champions League appearances in 2026, seven appearances in all competitions. He has also remained involved with Belarus, making two World Cup qualifying appearances in Europe this season.
Martynovich’s career is best understood through his long service at Krasnodar, with later spells at Rubin Kazan and Kairat adding to a durable, senior defensive record.
