Club career
Kalonas played in the youth teams of Dynamo Moscow, then moved to Rubin Kazan, before having a spell at Portuguese club S.C. Braga. But at neither club he made it through to the first team. He then moved to Latvia where he played with FHK Liepājas Metalurgs, who went on to win the 2006 Latvian cup, coming second in the league.
After a spell with Kuban Krasnodar, he signed for FK Riga, playing for the club in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, where he impressed Bohemian F.C. manager Pat Fenlon. On 31 July 2008, he signed a contract with Bohs until the end of the season[1] and made his debut for the Gypsies in 3–0 win over Cobh Ramblers at Dalymount Park on 1 August. Kalonas adapted well to the League of Ireland and netted his first goal for Bohs in a 2–0 win over Galway United on 22 August. He scored in 2010 world cup qualifying against Romania. He quickly became a fan favourite, netting the winner in a game against rivals Shamrock Rovers and the deciding penalty in a shoot-out to claim The Double in the FAI Cup Final against Derry City. He also became the first Lithuanian to play in an FAI Cup Final.
In 2009, he signed a three-year contract with Metalurh Zaporizhya. In his first season, Kalonas has played 11 games and scored one goal, which came against Metalurh Donetsk. On 23 July 2012, Kalonas joined Polish I liga side Stomil Olsztyn.
In January 2013 Kalonas joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Ravan Baku, scoring eight goals in 13 league games. At the end of the 2012–13 season Kalonas moved to FC Baku.[2] In November 2013, Kalonas was named Lithuania Player of the Year for the first time.[3] Kalonas joined Simurq PIK on loan for the remainder of the season, on 4 February 2014.[4]
On 10 June 2014, Kalonas joined Hapoel Haifa on a two-year contract.[5] After only six-months in Israel, Kalonas returned to Latvia, signing a one-year contract with LMT Virslīga side Skonto FC.[6]
Kalonas was released by Skonto FC in June 2015.[7]
Kalonas had his Ravan Baku contract cancelled in August 2015, having not played a match for the club, after manager Emin Quliyev was dissatisfied with his training.[8]
In September 2015 he signed to Hapoel Nazareth Illit.
In February 2016 he signed with Kauno Žalgiris,[9] but left club in the summer and joined Umaglesi Liga side Sioni Bolnisi.[10]
On 1 March 2017, Kalonas joined Estonian Meistriliiga participants Sillamäe Kalev.[11] He left the club after two months.[12][13]
International career
After making his debut in 2006, Kalonas made 35 appearances for the Lithuania national team[14] until 2010, before being re-called again in 2013.
