Career

Club

Yezerskiy started his professional football career in 1997 in Karpaty Lviv. Two years later, he was picked up by Ukrainian giants, Dynamo Kyiv, and, later, by Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih. In 2000, Yezerskiy left to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, where he became an integral part of the team. On 20 June 2007 he was signed by FC Shakhtar Donetsk on a 3-year deal with a transfer fee of €1.2 million from Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. He was loaned out to Zorya Luhansk during the winter break of the 2009–10 Premier league season.

National

Yezerskiy played his first international game for the Ukraine national team on 15 July 1998 against the Poland national football team. However, after his successes in Dnipro, he became a regular player of the national team squad. He helped Ukraine qualify for their first World cup in 2006. Ukraine managed to get to the quarterfinals, losing to eventual world champions Italy.

International goals

Both of his goals were scored from a corner kick and were game openers.
