Club career
He started his professional career in Lithuania with Atlantas. After moving to Riteriai (known as FK Trakai at the time), he scored 7 goals in 6 games in the Europa League qualifiers, helping his club eliminate Scottish club St Johnstone and Swedish IFK Norrköping. Shortly after he transferred to Macedonian club Vardar. After a long investigation, on 27 May 2019 FIFA banned Maksimov from playing for 4 months and Vardar from acquiring new players for two transfer windows due to irregularities with his transfer.[1]
On 28 August 2019 he signed a 2-year contract with Russian Football National League club FC Torpedo Moscow.[2]
He made his professional debut in the Russian Football National League for Torpedo on 29 September 2019 in a game against FC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk. He started the game and was substituted at half-time.[3] He scored his first Torpedo goal on 12 October 2019, a late winning goal in a 3–2 victory over FC Spartak-2 Moscow. On 26 November 2019, his contract was dissolved by mutual consent.[4]
On 21 August 2020, he was on trials with Serbian SuperLiga side FK Napredak Kruševac.[5]
Maksimov made his Russian Premier League debut for FC Fakel Voronezh on 17 July 2022 against FC Krasnodar.[6]
