Early career

Belmokhtar is the product of the FC Odesa and the Odesa Youth Sports School "Spartak" named after I. Belanov.[1] At the professional level, he made his debut in the 2000–2001 season for Chornomorets-2 in the Ukrainian Second League.[2][3] He would play with the senior team in two games during the 2000–2001 season in the Ukrainian First League.[4] He later played in the Odesa region with FC Palmira Odesa and Bilyayivka.[5]

In 2007, he played abroad in the Belarusian Premier League with Smorgon.[6] In total, he played in 8 matches and recorded 1 goal with Smorgon.[6]

Ukraine

After a season abroad he returned to Ukraine's third division with FC Bastion Illichivsk during the 2009 winter transfer market.[6] In the winter of 2010-2011, he would remain in the third tier but secured a transfer to Sumy.[5][7][8] In his debut season with Sumy, he helped the club secure a promotion playoff berth by finishing second in the league's Group A.[9] Belmokhtar participated in the opening round of the playoffs where he contributed two goals against Poltava which advanced Sumy to the final round.[9] In the final round of the promotion playoffs, Sumy was defeated by Enerhetyk Burshtyn which denied the club a berth in the country's second division.[10] He also finished as the league's top scorer in Group A.[11]

After the conclusion of the season, Belmokhtar would depart from Sumy.[12] Initially, he was linked to a move to Odesa but he later denied receiving any offers from the club.[13][14][15] He would ultimately land a contract with Nyva Vinnytsia at the Ukrainian second-tier level in the summer of 2011.[16][17] However, his tenure with Nyva was short-lived as he left the club two months after due to issues over player wages and playing conditions.[18][19] He would appear in 11 matches for Nyva.[20]

For the remainder of the season, he returned to his hometown to sign with Odesa.[21][22][23] He would successfully help Odesa avoid relegation by finishing just outside the relegation zone.[24] In his debut season with Odesa, he played in 10 matches and recorded 2 goals.[20] Belmokhtar would later be released from his contract after the season.[25]

Following his release from Odesa, he returned to the third division to play with Slavutych Cherkasy.[26] After a single season in Cherkasy, his contract was terminated.[27] In 2013, he remained in the third-tier league by securing a deal with Krystal Kherson.[28] He would have a brief stint in Kherson as his contract was mutually terminated in August 2013.[29] Belmokhtar would play out the remainder of the season with Real Pharma Odesa.[30] He would appear in 6 matches for Odesa.[20]

Once more his tenure with Odesa was brief as he left the club in the winter of 2014.[31] He would return to the amateur level to play with Khadzhibey Ovidiopol in 2014 and 2017.[31][32]

Canada

In the summer of 2018, he played abroad for a second spell in the Southern Ontario-based Canadian Soccer League with FC Vorkuta.[2] Belmokhtar would sign with expansion side Kingsman SC in 2019.[33] In his debut season with Kingsman, he appeared in 16 matches and recorded 8 goals.[34] He would also assist the expansion team in securing a playoff berth by finishing eighth in the league's first division. In the opening round of the postseason, Kingsman would defeat Vorkuta to advance to the next round.[35] In the semifinal round of the playoffs, Belmokhtar would contribute two goals against Scarborough SC but the club would ultimately lose to the Toronto side.[36]

He would return to his former club Vorkuta in 2021.[37]
