Playing career

edit

Galimov made his KHL debut playing with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk during the 2012–13 KHL season[1] before playing with Metallurg Novokuznetsk in the KHL from September 2013 until April 2015.

After two seasons with Dynamo, Galimov, while still contracted, was granted free agent status from the KHL following the 2016–17 season, due to the club's debt on July 4, 2017.[2] With Dynamo unwilling to offer an improved contract, Galimov left to sign a two-year contract with Avangard Omsk the following day on July 5, 2017.[3]

On 8 May 2020, Galimov agreed to a one-year contract with his seventh KHL club in HC Sochi.[4]
