Club career
editBorn in Sochi, Koryan started his career at Lokomotiv Moscow. After progressing through the club's youth system, he was an unused substitute in a 0–1 away loss against CSKA Moscow.
On 3 February 2015, Koryan signed for Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse, being initially assigned to Jong Vitesse.[1] On 21 May, he renewed his contract for a further year.[2] On 8 June 2016, Koryan was promoted to the main squad and was assigned the no. 30 shirt.[3] He made his professional debut on 6 August, replacing Mitchell van Bergen in the 81st minute of a 4–1 away win against Willem II.[4] On 31 March 2017, it was announced that Koryan would leave Vitesse along with Wouter Dronkers and Ewout Gouw at the end of their current deals in June 2017.[5]
On 12 July 2017, Koryan returned to Lokomotiv Moscow as a free agent.[6] He left Lokomotiv upon the expiration of his contract on 30 June 2019.[7]
On 1 July 2019, he signed with Khimki.[8] On 4 March 2021, he extended his contract with Khimki.[9]
