Club career

Born in Novoyavorivsk, just to the west of Lviv city, Rusyn is a product of the Lviv and Dynamo Kyiv academies. His first coach was Yuriy Triska.[1]

Dynamo Kyiv

He played for Dynamo in the Ukrainian Premier League Reserves and in November 2017 he was promoted to the senior squad team. Rusyn made his debut for the Dynamo's senior squad in a match against Albanian Skënderbeu Korçë in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League on 23 November 2017 and scored on 90'+1 minute.[2]

Legia Warsaw

On 23 February 2021 Rusyn moved to Polish club Legia Warsaw, on a loan deal until December 2021[5] where he played along with Artem Shabanov at that time. The deal included an option to buy.[5] On 3 March 2021 he made his debut for Legia in a Polish Cup's 2–1 defeat against Piast Gliwice at the Stadion Wojska Polskiego.[6] Due to conflict with manager of the club, Czesław Michniewicz, Rusyn was sent to reserves. On 6 April 2021 Nazarij Rusyn was moved to the Legia Warsaw reserve team for two weeks.[7]

Sunderland

On 1 September 2023, Sunderland announced the transfer of Rusyn on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[8] On 24 September, he made his debut for the club in a 1–0 home defeat to Cardiff.[9]
