Career
Slavia Sofia
Born in Sofia, Velkov began his football career with Slavia Sofia in 2005.[4] He made his first-team debut on 27 July 2013, at 16 years 227 days, coming on as a substitute for Hristo Yanev in a 0–0 away league draw against Cherno More Varna. On 18 December 2013, it was reported that Velkov was on trial with Manchester United.[5] After the great debut season and a few trials in big European teams, Velkov got a serious injury, which took him out of football for a minimum of six months.[6]
In March 2015, Velkov extended his contract with Slavia for a further three years.[7] He returned to training in April, but he did not take part in any further matches, so he missed the entire 2014–15 season.[8]
Velkov returned to play in the first match of the 2015–16 season against Lokomotiv Plovdiv as a substitute in the 88th minute.[9]
Velkov scored his debut goal for Slavia in the league on 17 September 2016 in a match against Ludogorets Razgrad, lost by his team with 3–1.[10]
Den Bosch
On 10 August 2018, Velkov signed for the Dutch Eerste Divisie team Den Bosch. He made his debut a week later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win over FC Volendam.[11] He scored his first goal for the club on 25 September, in a 2–1 loss against Heracles Almelo in the KNVB Cup.
MSV Duisburg
After a short stint at KFC Uerdingen he moved to MSV Duisburg in January 2021.[12] He signed a new one-year contract on 27 May 2021.[13] In the summer of 2022, he left Duisburg.[14]
Vejle
On 17 June 2022, Velkov signed with newly relegated Danish 1st Division side Vejle Boldklub, penning a deal until June 2024.[15]
International career
Youth levels
Velkov represented Bulgaria at the under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels. On 1 June 2013, he made his debut for the Bulgaria under-21 side at the age of 16 years, 5 months and 22 days, making him the second-youngest player to debut for the team after Nikolay Mihaylov.[16][17] On 25 March 2016 Velkov was in the starting lineup for the goalless draw with Wales U21.[18][19] He is currently the team captain.
Senior level
On 14 March 2017, he received his first call-up for Bulgaria senior team for the match against the Netherlands on 25 March 2017,[20] in which he was an unused substitute.[21] Velkov earned his first cap on 26 February 2020, playing the first 75 minutes of the 1–0 home loss against Belarus in a friendly game.[22]
