[edit] Club career

Soloņicins has been at Liepājas Metalurgs his entire career, making his debut in 1997. In the penultimate match of the 2004 Virslīga season he missed a crucial last minute penalty in a 3-2 loss to FC Skonto meaning the club lost out to Skonto on becoming Latvian Champions. However, the following season, Soloņicins was part of the Liepājas Metalurgs team that finally broke Skonto's 14 year reign over Latvian football when they became Virslīga champions in October 2005.[1] In December he was named the Virslīgas best Midfielder of the 2005 season.[2]
