Early life Shatov was born and grew up in Nizhny Tagil, where the winter conditions made playing outdoor sports very difficult. As a result, Shatov began playing futsal from the age of 14, before committing fully to association football two years later. He was named Ural's Player of the Year after the 2010 season. Zenit was eventually eliminated by Benfica in the final 16.

On 18 November 2021, his contract with Rubin was terminated by mutual consent. He explained that he decided to pause his playing career due to repeating injuries and that he will reassess his situation in January 2022.

Return to Ural Shatov resumed playing when he rejoined his first club Ural Yekaterinburg in January 2022 for the pre-season camp. On 1 February 2022, he signed a contract with Ural until the end of the 2021–22 season. Shatov extended his contract for the 2022–23 season on 16 June 2022.

Coaching career On 6 November 2024, Shatov was appointed caretaker manager of Ural Yekaterinburg after the dismissal of Yevgeni Averyanov.
