Yordan Minev started his career in home town
Pazardzhik for local team
Hebar. Between 2001 and 2003, Minev played in
PFC Belasitsa from
Petrich. Then, from January 2004 until June 2004 he played in
Rodopa from
Smolyan. In 2005, he joined
Botev Plovdiv.
CSKA Sofia In January 2009, Minev signed with
CSKA Sofia. He gradually established himself as the first choice
right back in the team after
Luboslav Penev's appointment as manager. On 23 May 2009, Minev received a
second yellow card in the redmen's match against
Lokomotiv Sofia. Minev was released from CSKA in March 2011, as he was unable to stake a claim to first choice defender status under head coach
Milen Radukanov.
Ludogorets Razgrad On 30 May 2011, Minev signed a contract with newly promoted
Ludogorets Razgrad. He made his competitive debut for Ludogorets on 6 August, in a 0–0 home league draw against
Lokomotiv Plovdiv. In his first season playing for Ludogorets, Minev made 28 appearances in the A group and ended the season winning his first league golden medal. On 26 September 2013, he was alleged to have failed a doping test by FIFA (in reality the medical substances had been legally administered by a doctor due to a shoulder injury of the player and there had been a misunderstanding with regard to the terminology used), but was almost immediately cleared of any wrongdoing. On 22 October 2014, Minev scored his first goal for Ludogorets, scoring a crucial
last-minute winning goal in a 1–0 home win over
Basel in the
group stage of the
Champions League.
Botev Plovdiv On 29 June 2017 Yordan Minev made a debut after his return to
Botev Plovdiv during the 3–1 away win over
Partizani Tirana in the 1st qualifying round of UEFA Europa League. On 29 April 2018 Minev provided an assist and was sent off in the last minute of the dramatic 2–1 home win over
CSKA Sofia. ==Notable accomplishments==
