Not one to shy away from the spotlight, the forward dons the number 17 jersey when he takes to the field.
Kucheriavyi transitioned to St Johnstone in Scotland’s Premiership in January of 2021. His debut season, 2022 - 2023, saw him making the cut for four matches with first team appearances.

In 2022, the forward took another borrowed excursion, this time to the League One club Kelty Hearts in February. He made a safe return from Kelty Hearts back to his home base at St Johnstone in June of the same year. This was followed by a brief stint at Falkirk in the Championship around the early days of 2023, another venture on loan held proud by Kucheriavyi's prolific career. Once concluded, he calmly directed his course back to St Johnstone, reaffirming his place in their Premiership standings.
Having had quite the journey within the confines of Scottish football, Kucheriavyi constituted part of the St Johnstone team for the League Cup in 2024 - 2025, taking to the field on two occasions as a substitute.
