Evgeniy Makeev is a versatile Russian defender currently playing for FC Veles Moscow. Born on July 24, 1989, Makeev is a product of the Spartak Moscow academy and spent the early part of his career with the capital giants, making his Russian Premier League debut in 2008. His ability to play anywhere across the back line, particularly at left-back and center-back, made him a useful squad player. After leaving Spartak, he had spells with FC Rostov and FC Ufa, gathering extensive top-flight experience. Makeev also earned several caps for the Russian national team. A technically sound and intelligent defender, his career has been one of reliable service rather than flashy headlines. At Veles, he provides crucial experience and defensive know-how to a team competing in the Russian Football National League.
