Career
Barvinko emerged from the FC Metalurh Zaporizhya and Metalist Kharkiv Youth School Systems. On 1 April 2012, he made his debut in the Ukrainian Premier League for Metalist in a 1–1 draw with Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, in which he assisted the equalizing goal scored by Marlos. Despite initial success, Barvinko retired from playing at the age of just 20 due to recurring injuries, and took up a coaching role.
In September 2021, he was admitted into hospital with hyperglycemia. As his condition worsened, he slipped into coma and died on 10 September 2021.[4]
