Career

Early life and college

Movsisyan was born 2 August 1987 in Baku, Azerbaijani SSR.[1] After few years his family moved to the US, Los Angeles area with a large Armenian community. Movsisyan attended and played soccer at Pasadena High School, and played a year of college soccer at Pasadena City College before being discovered by MLS scouts prior to the 2006 MLS SuperDraft.

Professional

Movsisyan was signed to a Generation Adidas contract and became the surprise of draft day, with the Kansas City Wizards selecting him with the fourth overall pick, the highest in MLS history for a player who did not go to a Division I college program or was not a U.S. youth international.

On the 2007 trading deadline, Movsisyan was traded to Real Salt Lake. Movsisyan was the player to score Real Salt Lake's first ever MLS Cup Playoffs goal when he scored the winner (and only goal) on 1 November 2008 at Rio Tinto Stadium, when the Utah side beat Chivas USA. Movsisyan signed a pre-contract with Danish club Randers FC on 6 July 2009, with an agreement to join the club following the conclusion of the 2009 MLS season. Having helped Real Salt Lake win their first ever MLS Cup championship that season, Movsisyan left the club and joined Randers on 1 January 2010.[2]

In Randers FC, Yura replaced the past season topscorer Marc Nygaard's position, from the first match of the spring season. In Denmark he established himself as a powerhouse, playing a major role in the saving of Randers FC from relegation from the Danish Superliga. He was sold for €2.5 million to FC Krasnodar in Winter 2011. After fighting injury early in the season, Movsisyan has become a major producer on the team and has netted 13 goals.

International

Movsisyan originally stated that his goal was to gain American citizenship and join the United States national team.[3] However, on 9 August 2010, he joined the Armenia national team and made his debut in a friendly against Iran on 11 August 2010.[4] He was one of the most prolific strikers in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, netting in 4 goals and assisting in 5 others.
