Club career

Ukraine

Patula began his career at the youth level with Prometei Dniprodzerzhynsk, and later joined Shakhtar Donetsk's academy in 2000.[1] After three years with Shakhtar's youth team, he played with Stal Dniprodzerzhynsk's reserve team in the Dnipropetrovsk regional league.[1][2]

In 2004, he joined the professional ranks by signing with Ros Bila Tserkva in the Ukrainian Second League. After three and a half seasons in the country's third-tier league, he began playing in the Ukrainian First League with Feniks-Illichovets Kalinine.[3] In his second season with the Crimean-based club, he made his debut in the Ukrainian Cup tournament against Sevastopol.[4] In the early winter of 2009, he was transferred to Sevastopol.[5][6][7] His tenure with Sevastopol was short-lived, as he joined Khimik Krasnoperekopsk in 2010.[1] He helped Khimik win the regional Crimean title.

In the summer of 2010, he returned to his former club, Stal Dniprodzerzhynsk, to compete in the country's third division league.[8] In his final season with Dniprodzerzhynsk, he started against premier league side Illichivets Mariupol in the 2013–14 Ukrainian Cup.[9]

Following his departure from the professional circuit, he joined with VPK-Ahro Shevchenkivka in the Dnipropetrovsk regional league.[10] For the remainder of the 2013 season, he played with FC Olimpik Petrykivka until the 2015 season.[1][11] In 2015, he played with Stal Dniprodzerzhynsk's reserve team.[1]

Canada

In the summer of 2017, he ventured abroad by signing with expansion side FC Vorkuta in the Canadian Soccer League.[12] In his debut season in the Canadian circuit, he helped Vorkuta win the league's first division title.[13] In the playoff tournament, Vorkuta was eliminated in the semifinal round by Scarborough SC.[14]
