Career

Kucherenko is the product of his native Slavkhlib Slovyansk. He played for Avanhard Kramatorsk, appearing in Ukrainian Second League matches. During the 2011–2012 transfer winter window he moved to play in Moldova until the end of 2014.

Controversy

In 2012 Kucherenko was signed for FC Nistru Otaci as Moldovan footballer, that was born in 1994 and the next year was called up to play for Moldova national under-19 football team, but previously he played in Ukraine as a Ukrainian citizen of the 1991 year of birth. For these reasons, in the end of 2014 by the Football Federation of Moldova was launched an investigation about this case,[1] but in 2015 Kucherenko signed a contract with FC Zirka again under Ukrainian passport.
