Husyev started his career for FC Arsenal Kyiv.

He transferred to Dynamo in the summer of 2003. Following his strong display in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Husyev was linked with a move to French side Olympique Lyonnais ^[1]. However, Dynamo Kyiv President Ihor Surkis stated that Husyev, along with fellow players Artem Milevskiy and Ruslan Rotan, are "the future of Dynamo Kyiv".^[2]

His great season, which saw him score five goals for Dynamo Kyiv and four goals for Ukraine, came to an early end after an injury to his knee that kept him out of play until mid November 2008.
