Career

Club career

In 2009, Ivanof moved from the youth academy of Sint-Truidense to KRC Genk, where he ended up in the same age category as Leon Bailey, Bryan Heynen, Nordin Jackers and Dries Wouters, among others.^[1] However, Ivanof wasn't offered a professional contract by Genk, after which he moved to Lille OSC together with his brother Marvin in 2014.^[2] A year later he ended up at K.V. Kortrijk, where he signed his first professional contract two months before his twentieth birthday.^[3]

In the 2017/18 season, he was promoted in to the first team of Kortrijk. His debut in the Belgien First Division A came on 29 April 2017 in a game against KRC Genk, where he replaced Stijn De Smet in the 67th minute. The game finished 3–0. Partly due to a serious knee injury, he played only eleven official games for Kortrijk, including nine in Play-off games.^[4]

Ivanof moved to RWDM47 on 1 February 2020.^[5] He left the club at the end of the season.
