Hleb has had unsuccessful trials with Scottish Premier League sides
Inverness CT in 2005 and
Hearts. In the summer of 2008, Hleb was close to being transferred to Dutch side
Roda JC but the clubs could not agree. On 10 February 2009, Hleb signed a two-year contract with
Chinese Super League side
Shanghai Shenhua. He played 27 league games and scored seven goals in
Season 2009 but when
Miroslav Blažević was appointed manager in December 2009, he decided that Hleb was not part of his plans to try and turn Shanghai Shenhua into league title contenders. On 12 August 2010, Hleb transferred to
Shenzhen Ruby on a loan deal. In 2011, he played for
Dinamo Minsk as well as for
FSV Frankfurt. On 7 September 2012,
AEL Kalloni from
Football League (Greece) announced his transfer. ==International career==
