He made a further two appearances in his first season, both coming in the league. Shakhtar won the treble with success in the Premier League, Cup and the Super Cup.

He made his first appearance of the 2012–13 season on 26 August in a 3–0 victory over Karpaty Lviv at the Donbass Arena. He played the full 90 minutes, picking up a yellow card in the 85th minute.[3] He also played in a 3–1 victory over Dynamo Kyiv as a 70th-minute substitute, replacing the injured Oleksandr Kucher who scored twice.[4]
