Lokomotiv Moscow A native of Moscow, Bilyaletdinov began his career in the Lokomotiv Moscow youth teams. After making his debut in 2004 aged 19, he became a first team regular. In his first season the club won the
Russian Premier League and was named the league's Young Player of the Year. He was the Lokomotiv
captain for the 2007 season.
Everton Bilyaletdinov signed a four-year contract with English club
Everton in August 2009 for an undisclosed fee – believed to be £9 million – upon recommendation from national team manager
Guus Hiddink, who was at
Chelsea at that time. The move made him Everton's third most expensive signing in their history. He made his debut for Everton coming on as an 89th-minute substitute in a 2–1 win over
Wigan Athletic later in the month. On 17 October 2009, Bilyaletdinov scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw against
Wolverhampton Wanderers and scored again on the following week in a 1–1 draw against
Aston Villa, but received his first red card in the Premier League later on in the match. He contributed two assists in his first-ever start for Everton in the inaugural
UEFA Europa League in a 4–0 win over
AEK Athens, and scored against them again in the last group stage game. Bilyaletdinov scored seven goals in his first season in England, including one against
Manchester United that was voted the club's goal of the season. On the final day of the
2009–10 which is 9 May 2010, he scored another brilliant goal in Everton's 1–0 win over
Portsmouth which was arguably better than the goal of the season he scored. The following season, Bilyaletdinov began to find himself on the bench, but in the second half of the season, he made more appearances following the departure of
Steven Pienaar to
Tottenham Hotspur. Bilyaletdinov scored his first goal of the 2010-11 Premier League season coming on as a substitute against
West Ham United which was arguably even better than the other two we were on about. He scored his second against Wolverhampton Wanderers. In the final game of the
2010–11 season, on 14 May, Bilyaletdinov received another red card in a 1–0 loss against
West Brom. After the game, the club decided not to appeal his sending off, so he served a three-match ban ahead of the new season. However, despite scoring 9 goals in 77 appearances, he failed to make a major impact during his time at Everton and had been on the fringes of the first team squad during the
2011–12 season after finding himself playing in the reserves. In November 2011, Bilyaletdinov said that he sought to leave the club if he did not get a first team place, as he feared losing his place in the national team. Bilyaletdinov made his last appearance for Everton in a 1–1 draw against
Aston Villa on 14 January 2012. After leaving Everton, Bilyaletdinov spoke out by criticising their tactics and lack of creativity with a problem of scoring.
Spartak Moscow . In January 2012, Bilyaletdinov was sold to
Spartak Moscow for an undisclosed fee, as Everton wished to raise funds to buy other players. After his move to Spartak Moscow, Bilyaletdinov was given the number 25 shirt. Bilyaletdinov made his debut for Spartak Moscow in a 1–1 draw against
Rubin Kazan on 5 March 2012. On 6 May 2012, Bilyaletdinov scored his first goal in over three years since leaving the country and first for the club in a 3–2 win over
Zenit Saint Petersburg. In January 2014, Bilyaletdinov was loaned to fellow league team
Anzhi Makhachkala. On 23 July 2015, Bilyaletdinov's contract with Spartak was terminated by mutual consent.
Trakai On 19 September 2017, he signed with the
Lithuanian club
FK Trakai. After the 2018 season he left the club. ==International career==
