Hot Watch: Nikita Rukavytsya
Time to check in on one of our former Sizzle Query footballers, Nikita Rukavytsya, who plays for Perth Glory.
For those who don’t recall, here’s the BG: he’s a Ukrainian/Australian player with a buzz cut, whom we had on standby to see how his looks would improve with both time and hair growth.
Over the weekend, 21-year-old Nikita was interviewed for an Australian show called The World Game.
During the program, Kickette is mentioned as a Nikita-hottie watch source, which is brill. (You can watch the clip here.)
Even better, we note that the cute Mr. R has grown his hair out so we can all do a compare and contrast.
Btw, please take a look at the photograph below, taken of Nikita and his homies after a recent Olyroo game – btw, he’s with Matthew Spiranovic (Nurnberg fc),Trent McClenahan (Hereford United) and Billy Celeski (Melbourne Victory).
The lads were all fresh from the showers, and apparently Nikita smelled fantastic.
Thanks a mill to BJ for the spot/vid and the story. Big kiss!
bj i am intrigued…what happened with this teammate ho is a mate of yours…?
OMGSH I KNOW HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheee! As for Nikita, I'm loving the ball skillz and the voice. Nothing sexier than an ex-pat picking up our accent. ;D
this is just another reason for kickette to the gorgousness that i aussie footballers. please do…i would be happy to help. btw nikita is my fave!
wow… congrats 2 kickette on the rise of fame!! n it wont bother me much to give niki a place in my footie hotties list!! yummy…
I actually screamed when Kickette came on the screen – it was so funny! Re Nikita – hair growth has definitely transformed this one into a fully-fledged hottie. Can't wait for the A-League to start again so I can see him in the flesh!
One thing that several players on your squad share is a tendency to brain-snaps. Given our experience in the Asian Cup, query whether this is a desirable attribute at this point of the competition.
the buzz cut is way hotter. loving the whole skinhead russian thang.
plz i so agree with jasmine!!! love the kickette blog heaps – we just need to see more billy celeski, coz he is gorgeous. love him soooo much, dying to meet him. sorry girls, way hotter than nikita.
go the victory.
nikita is such a hottie and great on the field!! however you girsl really need to take notice of some of our other a-league hotties…there may not be many but check out adam griffiths…like wow!!
MORE BILLY CELESKI!!

Well done BJ for keeping your hands to yourself!! Can’t say I’d have been able to <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" />
Yay for Kickette!! World domination next!!!
He has a strange accent, but with the longer hair he is looking a lot hotter!!
HE IS SOOOO HOT. PHOTO’S DON’T DO HIM JUSTICE.
He looks sooo much better with hair. i dont know why they do it to themselves!
Hottest footballer I’ve seen in a long time… <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" /> I’m in loooove! <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/kiss.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="kiss" style="border:0;" />
Hubba Hubba!
Ah yes… I wasn’t a fan of the buzz cut version of him, but hair grown out him is definitely hot!
Oh, Kickette – your fame is growing in leaps and bounds!!
I <3 Nikita. He looks like the lovechild of Phil Bardsley and Nemanja (“I was robbed in the TTO”) Vidic.
Ooh, now he is what I would call hot! Could we please have some more pictures of him and some less of that androgynous Portuguese who’s skin color reminds me of dog turds. Thank you!
paruresis :
i got them when they were walking back to the hotel after their showers…
they smelt of lynx and hotness
I dont wanna smell these guys after a game : )
to the question at hand:
he’s gone from FF material, imho, to just run of the mill. sigh, so sad.. i just hope he gets intimately re-acquainted with a razor. post-haste!
DAMN!
Hmmm. The extra hair looks GOOD on him. Rauw!
ooh, not bad. But still about 3 years too young for me.
no problem Kickette.
yes, yes he did smell fantastic… and thats me! right next to him…ahahahaha awesome.
I most definitely would… with or without the hair
Liking him in both hair styles.Liking the eyes. And like his accent too.
Thumbs up!
Lol, to the Kickette mention.
Go Kickette!
Congrats, Kickette, on the media mention!!!
As for Nikita, ooooh my! I love everything about him: hot without hair, hot with hair, gorgeous eyes, great player and adorable hybrid accent.
So, he’s a striker, is he? Ferg has been looking to sign another striker and I think I’ve found my preferred choice!!! I want him in the EPL, STAT! That way, we’ll get a chance to see more of him. He’d look good in red, dontcha think, my fellow Red Devilettes??! <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" />
Nummy nummy! He looks scrumptuous. But I definately prefer the hair a little longer.
mrs xabi alonso…thankyou… but i had to keep my hands to myself on this one…but i didn't with one of his team mates who is a mate of mine haha.

Congrats Kickette on the well deserved mention and although I prefered the shaven headed look he's definitely still looking hot!
Wow. I'm impressed.
