Club career
Zenit
Mironov started playing football at the age of eleven in his native Novgorod and did not plan to become a pro until his coaches told him he had talent. In 2003, he moved to Saint Petersburg to train in DYuSSh Smena and in 2005 he was accepted into FC Zenit reserves, signing a professional contract with the club. He had a bright start and played 66 games for reserves over three years, scoring once, but after that it was decided that he is not good enough to join the first team.
