Yegor Andreyevich Sorokin (Russian: Егор Андреевич Сорокин; born 4 November 1995) is a Russian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Chinese Super League club Chengdu Rongcheng.

Club career

Sorokin made his debut in the Russian Premier League on 14 September 2014 for Rubin Kazan in a game against Rostov.[2] It took him three years to appear for the main Rubin squad again, when he started a game against SKA-Khabarovsk on 13 August 2017. He became a regular for Rubin in the 2017–18 season. On 9 December 2018, he scored twice to secure a 2–1 away victory over the league-leading FC Zenit St. Petersburg.[3]

On 2 September 2019, he signed a five-year contract with Krasnodar and was loaned back to Rubin for the remainder of the 2019–20 season.[4] On 30 December 2019, Krasnodar exercised their option to terminate the loan early.[5]

On 8 September 2023, Sorokin returned to Rubin Kazan with a contract until the end of the 2023–24 season.[6] Sorokin made two Russian Cup appearances and played no league games in his second stint with the club. On 7 February 2024, he left Rubin by mutual consent.[7]

On 22 July 2024, Kazakhstan Premier League club Kairat announced the signing of Sorokin on a contract until the end of the 2025 season.[8] On 29 January 2026, Kairat announced that Sorokin had left the club following the expiration of his contract.[9]

On 5 February 2026, Sorokin joined Chinese Super League club Chengdu Rongcheng.[10]

International career

Sorokin was called up to the Russia national team for the first time for games against Turkey and Czech Republic in September 2018.[11] He made his debut on 10 September 2018 in a friendly against Czech Republic, substituting Konstantin Rausch in the 87th minute of a 5–1 win.[12]
