Born in Limoges, France, in a family of Bulgarian emigrants, Petrov started his football career in the local academy of Limoges. In 2018 he joined Gazélec Ajaccio, before moving to Bulgaria in 2019 and joining the second-level team of Strumska Slava. On 24 May 2020 he joined the newly promoted to First League team of CSKA 1948.[2]
Petrov was born in France to Bulgarian parents, which makes him eligible for both France and Bulgaria national teams. He received his first call up for the Bulgaria U21 team in November 2020 for the 2021 European Under-21 Championship qualifying match against Estonia U21, but was recalled 2 days before the match due to a positive COVID-19 test.[3]
