Career

Trials at Eredivisie clubs

On 14 July 2007 Loria had a week's trial at PSV Eindhoven.[1] PSV's coach Ronald Koeman was impressed by David's performance in Belgium 0-0 Kazakhstan EURO qualifier opener back in August 2006.

On 24 July 2007 he also had a trial at Sparta Rotterdam.[2] Neither club signed him, though David performed well during the trials

Allsvenskan and Halmstads BK

In 2007 Halmstads BK goalkeeper Magnus Bahne got injured and missed the rest of the season,[3][4] Halmstad then only had one fit goalkeeper, making the club looking for a new goalkeeper for the remainder of the season and the choice became Kazakhstan international David Loria. However, his Scandinavian journey did not last long and returned home shortly after playing only 7 games.

Loria's contract was terminated in June 2014[5] before going on to sign with Karşıyaka.

Kairat

On 24 August 2018, Loria signed for FC Kairat as a free agent, on a short-term contract until the end of the 2018 season.[6]

International career

Loria represented Kazakhstan at U21 level when they qualified to U21 World Cup 1999 in Nigeria. Seventeen-year-old David was the youngest player of that team. He received his first cap for Kazakhstan senior team on 26 May 2000 in a friendly against Syria at the age of 18, putting a record as the youngest player. This record was broken by Sergei Larin after five years. Loria represented Kazakhstan in World Cup 2002, World Cup 2006, Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010 qualifiers.

Retirement

After retiring from professional football at the end of the 2019 season, Loria was appointed Executive Director of FC Astana on 9 October 2020.[7]
