Club career

A central midfielder,[4] Yarmolyuk is a product of a number of youth sportive schools of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and in May 2019, at age 15, he signed a three-year contract with Ukrainian Premier League club SC Dnipro-1.[5] His progression was such that he made two first team appearances late in the 2019–20 season.[2] Yarmolyuk's second appearance made him the second youngest player to start a match in the history of the Ukrainian top flight, at the age of 16 years and 140 days.[6] Yarmolyuk signed a new three-year contract in October 2020.[7] He went on to make 19 further appearances during the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons,[8] before the latter season was curtailed due to the war in Ukraine.[9] Yarmolyuk scored one senior goal for the club, in a 2–1 Ukrainian Cup round of 32 win over VPK-Ahro Shevchenkivka on 22 September 2021.[2]

Yarmolyuk was promoted into the first team squad in June 2023 and signed a new five-year contract, with the option of a further year.[17] He returned fit for the 2023–24 pre-season and made his first appearance of the regular season with a start in a EFL Cup second round shoot-out win over Newport County on 29 August 2023.[17][18] Following four substitute appearances in Premier League matches,[2] injury to Mathias Jensen allowed Yarmolyuk to make his maiden Premier League start for the club in a 1–0 defeat to Arsenal on 25 November 2023.[19][20] He made three further starts before the end of 2023 and Yarmolyuk's progress in the calendar year was recognised in the U19 category of the Golden talent of Ukraine award.[2][21] Yarmolyuk ended the 2023–24 season with 30 appearances.[18]
