Career
editLyubimets
editIn 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
editOgnyanov 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]

Cherno More
