Club career

Česnauskis was born in Kuršėnai. He started his career in 2000 playing for his hometown team Ekranas. He played for Dynamo Kyiv from 2003 to 2005, however, he received limited playing time and was often excluded from the matchday squads, appearing in only 9 matches across all competitions for the Ukrainian club. In March 2006, he signed a three-year deal with Russian club Saturn Ramenskoye. He was a regular starter for the club, appearing in 52 league matches and scoring ten goals until May 2008, when he moved to league rival FC Moscow. After the club withdrew from the Russian Premier League in February 2010,[1] Česnauskis signed for Dynamo Moscow prior to the 2010 season.

In March 2011, Česnauskis signed a contract with Rostov until June 2012.[2] In July 2012 he signed a new three-year contract with the club from Rostov-on-Don.[3] After being a regular starter in his first seasons at Rostov, he was relegated to a backup role in the 2013–14 season. After his contract ended in 2015, he retired from professional football.

International career

Česnauskis made five appearances for the Lithuanian under-21 team, scoring three goals. He made his debut for the full national team aged 19, on 3 July 2003 against Estonia.

Until 2013, he earned 43 caps for his country, scoring five goals.

Personal life

His older brother, Deividas, is also a former professional footballer.
