In 2003, he was promised by experts an overwhelming career after earning the Ukrainian Footballer of the Year award. However, Venhlynskyi is renowned for his numerous injuries that have hampered his career at certain points in his life. In 2005, he left Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk for AEK Athens in Greece, but was unable to solidify a first-place spot at the club. After a full-season with AEK Athens, Oleh returned to Ukraine to sign contract with Chornomorets Odesa for three years. In 2009, he left as his contract expired.
