Early career

Hromyak initially played with FC Ternopil's reserve squad in the Ternopil local circuit.[1] He would join the professional ranks by signing with the senior team that competed in the Ukrainian Second League during the 2013-14 season.[1][2] In his debut season, he helped the club secure a promotion to the Ukrainian First League.[3] He was re-signed by Ternopil the following season, where he made his debut in the country's second-tier league.[4][5] Throughout the season, he also debuted in the 2014–15 Ukrainian Cup against Oleksandriya.[4]

Following his stint at the professional level, he returned to the amateur ranks by playing in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast Football Federation region with Kalush in 2013.[6]

He returned to Ternopil in the summer of 2015 to play in the second-tier league.[7] In the 2015-16 national cup tournament, Hromyak helped the club reach the third round, where Premier League side Shakhtar Donetsk eliminated them.[8]

Canada

In the summer of 2017, he played abroad in the southern Ontario-based Canadian Soccer League with FC Ukraine United.[9][10] In his debut season with the Western Toronto side, he helped the team win the league's second division title.[11][12] He also finished as the division's top goal scorer with 15 goals.[13] In the second round of the playoffs, the club faced Brantford Galaxy II, where Ukraine United successfully advanced to the championship finals.[14] Hromyak was featured in the championship final match, where he contributed two goals against Burlington SC to secure the title for the club.[15]

In 2018, he re-signed with Ukraine United and played in the league's first division.[16][17] He helped the club secure the divisional title and, as a result, clinched a playoff berth.[18][19] However, the Toronto side was eliminated from the postseason competition in the second round by Scarborough SC.[20] He would also finish as the club's second-highest goal scorer with 8 goals.[21]

Ukraine

In 2019, he returned to the Ukrainian Amateur Football League to play for Nyva Terebovlia.[22][17] In 2021, he began playing in the Ternopil regional league for Ahron-Velyki Hayi and was named the region's best player.[23] The following season, Hromyak received an injury that ruled him out for the majority of the campaign.[24] Throughout his time with Ahron-Velyki Hayi, he helped the club win the regional title for four consecutive seasons.[25] In 2023, while winning the Ternopil title, he was named the region's best player for the second time in his career.[25] Ahron-Velyki Hayi also competed in the national amateur league, where Hromyak finished as the league's top scorer.[26] The following season, he finished second in the goal-scoring charts.[26]
