Club career

edit

From an early age, Gagik Daghbashyan was fascinated by football. He also had the opportunity to engage in other sports (dance, karate, aikido). His passion for football was stronger and he decided to pursue a football career. At 12 years of age, Daghbashyan began to take his first steps at the football school of Banants Yerevan. In 2007, he was advanced to Banants-2 and played in the Armenian First League. In the same year, Daghbashyan debuted for Banants in the Armenian Premier League. On 10 November 2007, in the 28 round against Kilikia, he came off the bench at the 75th minute, replacing Yegishe Melikyan.[1]

In January 2015 he joined Slovak Fortuna Liga Club MFK Ružomberok after signing a one-and-a-half-year contract.[2]
