Soviet hardening
Ruslan Ajinjal, a football player who played at 11various clubs in his career, began his journey in his homeland - in the Abkhaz city of Gagra. At the age of 17, he signed a contract with Dynamo from Sukhumi, for which he played only one season. In January 1992, the young midfielder moved to the Maikop "Friendship", speaking in the First Division, where he played with his brother Beslan. Ruslan did not manage to achieve great success in the team from Maikop, but he established himself as a militant football player and at the beginning of the 1994 season he ended up in Kaliningrad's “Baltic”.
"Baltic success"
As part of Kaliningradians Ruslan Ajinjal quicklyentrenched at the base, like his brother, becoming an integral part of the team. In the very first year of the performance, the midfielder became the bronze medalist of the First League of the Russian Championship, and a year later contributed to the release of “Baltika” in the Higher League, finishing first in the season with a margin of 13 points. Despite the game in the league level higher, Ruslan did not lose his place in the base, but continued to confidently play for the “sailors”.
The first season in the Premier League ended forKaliningraders successfully enough - without any problems the team was fixed in the middle of the table, finishing 7th. A year later, Baltika again scored 49 points, in terms of the number of which shared seventh place with two other clubs, but, losing by additional indicators, were only 9th. The consolation for the club was getting into the Intertoto Cup, where the “Balts” confidently made it to the third round of the draw, losing to the Serbian “Vojvodina”.
However, this success "Baltika" ended.The following year, the Kaliningrad club was on the 15th place in the championship and left the Higher Division. Despite the decline, Ruslan Ajinjal did not leave the team, but played another season in the First Division, after which he decided to change the club.
Torpedo, Uralan, Terek and Luch
New team for Ruslan became Moscow club"Torpedo-ZIL". For the "Avtozavodtsev" midfielder spent just a year and a half, after which he moved to the "Uralan" from Elista. Three years as part of the “townspeople” allowed the footballer to make serious progress by regularly getting into the starting lineup, and in 2004, Ajinjal moved to Terek as the leader of Uralan.
In Grozny club, for which the midfielderspent two years, Ruslan also did not get lost, becoming the key link in the team game from the first matches. The performance of the midfielder fell in comparison with the performance of previous clubs, but the experience of a football player solved many problems during the match “Terek”. After completing the contract with Grozny residents, in January of 2006, the Russian went east, where he settled in Luch-Energia. Playing for the Vladivostok club, Ajinjal proved himself a real creator of attacks, having gained more than 10 points in two years, but wanting to fight the team for higher places, the midfielder did not renew the contract with “Ray”.
Samara take off
Samara became a new club for Ajindal"Wings of Soviets". In their composition, the football player became one of the key players in the midfield, and in 2009 tried on the captain's armband, performing the duties of the club leader for two years.

Despite the position of the left midfielder, the Russian was not distinguished by high performance, ensuring the result of the team due to the ability to properly begin the development of the attack. In January 2011, Ajinjal moved to Nizhny Novgorod Volga for a year and a half, after which he was again part of Krylya, with whom he signed a contract until the end of the 2013/14 season.

Despite his age, the mentor of the “bulls” counted on the midfielder not only as an experienced assistant, but also as a player. In the only season for the Krasnodar team, Ajinjal played in 13 matches in various tournaments, including the Europa League, and having become the bronze medalist of the Russian championship, in the summer of 2015, he announced his retirement after playing over 700 official matches.
