Career
Early career

Zlatkov made his debut during the 2007–08 season on May 10, 2008 in a 2–2 away draw against Beroe. A few days later, he had a trial with Dynamo Kyiv, but did not do enough to secure a contract with the Ukrainian club. In June 2008, Zlatkov was sent to Pirin Gotse Delchev on loan for one year. In the 2008–09 season, he earned 27 appearances playing in the second division, scored seven goals and provided five assists.
