Early life

Chyhrynskyi earned his debut in the Vyshcha Liha in 2004, at the age of 17. In 2005, he was loaned out to Ukrainian club Metalurh Zaporizhzhia, where he experienced continuous top-flight football. After a successful stint at Metalurh, Dmytro was brought back to Donetsk. He quickly emerged as a consistent defender and a leading figure, and first experienced UEFA Champions League football when coming on as a substitute against Barcelona during the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League. The young player cemented a starting position at the team in the 2006–07 season, by the end of which, at the age of 20, he captained Shakhtar in the Ukrainian Cup final against Dynamo Kyiv in the absence of the regular captain, Matuzalém.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

During the 2007–08 season, Chyhrynskyi was selected as the vice-captain of the team. During the season, he was voted man of the match in the 2–0 win over rivals Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukrainian Cup Final. Also in the same season, he won the Vyshcha Liha with Shakhtar.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

At the beginning of the 2008–09 season, Chyhrynskyi helped the squad win the Ukrainian Super Cup. With Shakhtar, he played in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, finishing third in the group behind Barcelona and Sporting CP. This was not the end of the club's European journey, however, as they parachuted down to the UEFA Cup. He helped the team make it to the quarter-final stage, defeating 1993 European Champions Marseille. They then progressed to the semi-finals, where they played Ukrainian rivals Dynamo Kyiv. Shakhtar progressed to the 2009 UEFA Cup Final against Werder Bremen – Chyhrynskyi and Shakhtar won the trophy 2–1 after extra time.[5]

Barcelona

On 26 August 2009, after long negotiations between Shakhtar and Barcelona,[6] a deal was reached for the transfer of Chyhrynskyi.[7] The transfer was valued at around €25 million and included the clause that Chyhrynskyi play in the UEFA Super Cup for his former club, coincidentally against Barcelona.[8][9] On 31 August 2009, Barcelona confirmed that Chyhrynskyi had passed a medical and signed for five years.[10] Chyhrynskyi was the first Ukrainian player to ever play for Barcelona and was expected to display his ability with the ball at his feet and "aerial presence and strong defensive skills" .[11]

Chyhrynskyi made his debut for Barcelona on 12 September 2009 in La Liga against Getafe.[12] He played a full 90 minutes on his debut, a 2–0 victory.[13]

Though Barcelona retained the title, Chyhrynskyi fared poorly in his debut season with the club. Despite this, manager Pep Guardiola had been keen to keep him.[14]

Return to Shakhtar Donetsk

On 6 July 2010, Chyhrynskyi signed a five-year deal to return to his former club Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee of €15 million, making Shakhtar a profit of €10 million.[15] after spending just one season with the Spanish team, playing just 14 times.[16] On 3 November 2010, Chyhrynskyi scored a header against Arsenal in the Champions League from a Jádson free-kick via a deflection off Craig Eastmond.[17]

Chyhrynskyi left Shakhtar by mutual consent on 2 February 2015.[18]

Dnipro

Seven days after leaving Shakhtar, Chyhrynskyi joined fellow league team Dnipro on a free transfer and signed a one-year contract.[19]

AEK Athens

On 11 June 2016, Chyhrynskyi signed a two-year contract with a possible extension for a third with Super League Greece club AEK Athens.[20] On 26 February 2017 he scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 home win against AEL.[21] The following 4 February, he scored in a 2–1 away win against champions Olympiacos, his first goal for the 2017–18 season.[22]

In mid-April 2021, the Ukrainian defender was unsure about his future, as his contract was not likely to be renewed and he was strongly considering retiring and serving the team from another official post.[23] On 15 June 2021, AEK Athens announced that Chyhrynskyi would not continue with the club.[24]

Ionikos Nikaias

On 9 September 2021, Chyhrynskyi signed a one-year contract with the newly promoted Super League Greece club Ionikos.[25] On 6 July 2022, he extended his contract with Ionikos for one more year.[26]

After a successful 2005–06 season, Chyhrynskyi was called up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad by coach Oleg Blokhin, following the injury to Serhiy Fedorov. Shortly before the World Cup, Chyhrynskyi was a member of the Ukraine under-21 team, which finished as runners-up in the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Showing impressive form during the championship, he was selected as a member of the team of the tournament by UEFA.[28] Although set to be a part of Ukraine's World Cup squad, Chyhrynskyi suffered an injury during the closing stages of under-21 competition, which forced him out of the entire forthcoming tournament.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
