Career

Zehirov began his career with CSKA Sofia, but made only six league appearance with one goal and spent time on loan to Sliven 2000 before leaving the club in October 2010.[2] He scored his first and last goal for the club against Lokomotiv Mezdra on 13 June 2009.

Beroe

On 7 February 2013, Zehirov signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Beroe Stara Zagora.[4] He made his debut on 22 May, replacing Martin Raynov for the last 13 minutes of a 2–1 away win over Lokomotiv Plovdiv. On 1 March 2014, Zehirov registered his first league goal with Beroe in a 5–0 home win over Lyubimets 2007, scoring the fourth of their five goals.

In the 2014–15 season, Zehirov became Beroe's first-choice right-back. On 8 May 2015, he signed a new two-year extension to his contract.[5]
