Career

Lyubimets

In June 2011, Ognyanov joined Lyubimets. During a spell of nearly three years at the club, he scored 18 goals in total. In the promotion campaign of 2012–13 he scored 14 goals to fire Lyubimets into the A Group. In 2012, he was also appointed captain of the team due to his contributions and retained that position until his departure from the club in January 2014, totaling 68 matches for Lyubimets.

Levski Sofia

Ognyanov signed with Levski Sofia on 11 January 2014 on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[2] He scored on his unofficial debut, a 5-3 friendly win against Chernomorets Burgas. However, Ognyanov sustained an unfortunate injury (rupture of his ligament of the ankle and a sprained left leg) in a friendly match against Viktoria Plzen which ruled him out until the end of the season,[3] postponing his official Levski Sofia debut and preventing him from accepting a likely call-up to the national team for a friendly match against Belarus.[4] On 27 July 2014, following his recovery from the injury, Ognyanov made his first official appearance for Levski Sofia after coming on a second-half substitute in the 0–2 loss against CSKA Sofia in The Eternal Derby.[5]

Beroe

In January 2015, Ognyanov rejoined his hometown club Beroe.[6]

Dunav Ruse

On 19 January 2016 he was released from Beroe, subsequently signing with the B Group team Dunav Ruse.[7]

Cherno More

On 12 October 2017, Ognyanov signed with Cherno More following a successful trial period.[8] On 21 October, he scored in his debut, after coming on as a late substitute for Stefan Stanchev in a 3–0 away win against Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[9] On 12 December 2017, Ognyanov's contract was terminated by mutual consent.[10]

Etar

Ognyanov joined Etar in January 2020.[11]

Levski Krumovgrad

In June 2021, Ognyanov joined Third League club Levski Krumovgrad[12]
