Early life
He was born on 3 October 1982 in Chirchiq, Uzbek SSR. He began his football career with Navbahor Namangan in 1997 at the age of 15.
Club career
Navbahor Namangan
He started his professional career with Navbahor Namangan in 2000, scoring 7 goals in 46 matches.
Pakhtakor

Bunyodkor
In 2008, he was transferred to Bunyodkor. Djeparov scored 19 goals for the team in his first season, which made him the top goalscorer of the club and the 2008 Uzbek League. His team won its first ever Uzbek League title that year. For his instrumental role in Bunyodkor and the Uzbekistan national football team, he was awarded the Asian Footballer of the Year. As a part of an agreement with the Asian Football Confederation, Djeparov was offered to a month in trial with Premier League giants Chelsea F.C.. However, Bunyodkor's matches in the Uzbek League championship and the Asian Champions League meant that he was unable to attend. Anyway, this season is often described as the best season of his career.
FC Seoul

He scored his K League debut goal in a 2-0 victory against Incheon United on October 2, 2010. He posted 1 goal and 7 assists in 16 matches in the K League that season, playing an instrumental role in Seoul's first K League win in 10 years. In February 8, 2011, Seoul announced that they had made the move permanent for an undisclosed fee rumored to be about US$850,000, and signed a 3-year contract with Djeparov.
Al-Shabab
After playing 15 games in Seoul, he was transferred to Al Shabab FC of the Saudi Premier League. The deal was announced at July 9, 2011. He was unremarkable on the pitch, and was rumored to be unhappy with his limited playing opportunities and Saudi Arabia's weather.
Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma / Seongnam FC
In February 2013 he made a move to Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma of the K League Classic.[1]
In January 2014 Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma was purchased from the Tongil Group by Seongnam City Government. Seongnam City Government made major changes to the club, which included renaming it Seongnam FC.
