Aleksandr Zarutskiy, born on 26 August 1993 (age 32), is a Kazakhstan goalkeeper with Kairat. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he fits the more traditional frame for the position, though his recent club football has been concentrated away from domestic league duty.
In 2026, Zarutskiy has not made a league appearance for Kairat, but he has played seven times in Champions League qualifying, which accounts for all of his club appearances across competitions this season. He has also been involved with Kazakhstan, making one appearance in European World Cup qualifying.
His career profile at present is straightforward: an experienced Kazakh goalkeeper at Kairat, used in continental qualifying this season while remaining outside the league side.
