Club career

Dynamo Kyiv

Born in Zaporizhia, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Oliynyk joined Dynamo Kyiv in 2004. There he was featured frequently in Dynamo-3, Dynamo-2 and the reserve squad of the main team. Although Oliynyk played two matches for Dynamo's senior squad in the 2006–07 season, he was not officially promoted to the main team until in May 2008 after the end of the 2007–08 season by new coach Yuri Semin.[2]

Naftovyk-Ukrnafta Okhtyrka (loan)

For part of the 2007–08 season, Oliynyk was loaned to then-Ukrainian Premier League club Naftovyk-Ukrnafta Okhtyrka.[3] He stayed there until the end of the 2007 calendar year.

Arsenal Kyiv (loan)

For the first half of the 2008–09 season, Oliynyk was loaned, alongside teammate Vitaliy Mandzyuk, to Arsenal Kyiv in July 2008. His time with Arsenal was extremely impressive as he quickly became one of the leaders of the midfield and attack.

Metalist Kharkiv

Seeking to strengthen his team for the 2008–09 UEFA Cup, Metalist Kharkiv coach Myron Markevych purchased Oliynyk during the winter transfer season.[4] Oliynyk established himself in the squad and played in the UEFA Cup and in the Ukrainian Premier League.

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

In July 2011, Oliynyk changed club to join fellow Premier League side Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.[5]

On 26 May 2014, Oliynyk signed a two-year contract at Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse.[6]
