Career
Zhukovsky's playing career was cut short in late 2002 by a serious injury sustained while playing for the BATE Borisov reserve squad. After spending several years outside football, in 2010 he joined Isloch Minsk Raion, which at the time was an amateur team playing in Minsk Oblast league.[2] Eventually Zhukovsky led Isloch to a series of promotions, leading to their debut in Belarusian Premier League in 2016.
