Serhiy Zelinsky was born in Chernihiv. The young football player made his debut in the local team Desna Chernihiv, which at that time played in the Soviet Second League, in 1989, and played in its composition until 1991.[5] Zelinsky made his debut in the Ukrainian Premier League in September 1992 for the high-league club Torpedo Mogilev.[6] [7] Having played for the team in 10 matches of the Ukrainian championship, Serhiy Zelinsky became a player of the Ukrainian Second League team Krystal Kherson from Kherson. The footballer played for this team for a year and a half, but did not become a major player in it, and in early 1995 he returned to the Desna Chernihiv, which at that time played in the first Ukrainian league.[8] [9] However, during his performances Zelinsky also did not become a player of the team, and from the beginning of 1997 he played for the Chernihiv amateur teams "Domobudivnyk" and Tekstilnyk. In 1998, Sergei Zelinsky played in the club of the highest Belarusian division Torpedo Mogilev from Mogilev. After returning to Ukraine, the footballer played for the amateur teams GPZ from Varva and Sula from Luben.
