Club career

Early career in Russia

Sorokin made his debut in the Russian Premier League on 14 September 2014 for Rubin Kazan in a game against Rostov.[2] It took him three years to appear for the main Rubin squad again, when he started a match against SKA-Khabarovsk on 13 August 2017. Sorokin became a regular for Rubin in the 2017–18 season. On 9 December 2018, he scored twice to secure a 2–1 away victory against then-champions FC Zenit St. Petersburg.[3]

On 2 September 2019, Sorokin signed a five-year contract with Krasnodar and returned to Rubin on loan for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[4] On 30 December 2019, Krasnodar sought to terminate his loan early.[5]

On 8 September 2023, Sorokin returned to Rubin Kazan with a contract until the end of the 2023–24 season.[6] He made two Russian Cup appearances and did not play league matches in his second stint with the club. On 7 February 2024, Sorokin left Rubin by mutual consent.[7]

Playing abroad

On 22 July 2024, Sorokin signed for Kazakhstan Premier League club Kairat on a short-term contract until the end of 2025.[8] On 29 January 2026, Kairat announced that he had left the club following the expiration of his contract.[9]

On 5 February 2026, Sorokin joined Chinese Super League club Chengdu Rongcheng.[10]

International career

Sorokin received his first call-up to the Russia national team for friendly matches against Turkey and Czech Republic in September 2018.[11] He made his debut on 10 September against the latter, replacing Konstantin Rausch in the 87th minute, ending in a 5–1 victory for the Russians.[12]
