He started his career at Soligorsk's "Shakhter" and in 2002 moved to Minsk's "Dynamo", where he did not establish himself and was later loaned to Minsk's "Darida" and Azerbaijan's capital Baku's "Inter".
In addition, the "Siauliai" club reported that defenders , , and David Arlauskis are leaving the team as their contracts were not renewed.
Former Marijampolė "Suduva" defender S.Butkus, who joined "Siauliai" at the beginning of the season, played 14 matches for "Siauliai" this year, scoring 2 goals and receiving five yellow cards.
Twenty-year-old A.Garuckas appeared in the "Siauliai" team only three times this season as a substitute: twice for 90 minutes and once in the middle of the second half.

The goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis's brother David appeared on the field eight times this year, mostly as a substitute.
Recently, "Siauliai" coach Saulius Vertelis complained that the team lacks capable players, especially in midfield. S.Butkus, A.Garuckas, and D.Arlauskis are defenders who left the team. The coach also stated that the team lacks "fresh blood" and players who, when coming off the bench, strengthen the team.
It is worth mentioning that in the "A Lyga" matches, "Siauliai" often had fewer players on the bench than allowed by the rules.
As stated on the official "Siauliai" website, it is planned that the team will be reinforced by another experienced player from Lithuania.
