He was then loaned at Eordaikos 2007 for the season 2010/2011, where he made 25 first team appearances (and 2 at the Greek Cup). He returned at Skoda Xanthi, he made his first appearance at the last fixture match against Ergotelis, and from the season 2012/2013 he is in the basic line-up . He was member of the Greek U21 Football Team.

In June 2013, Lodygin moved to Russia to play for Zenit Saint Petersburg for a fee of €800.000.
