Early career
Born in Lahti and raised in Kirkkonummi, Stavitski played in the youth sectors of his hometown club Kyrkslätt Idrottsförening (KyIF) and HJK Helsinki, and made his senior debut with HJK's reserve team Klubi 04 in 2016. He joined Veikkausliiga side Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS) in early 2017.[2][3] He scored his first professional goal in a 6–2 defeat by Inter Turku.[4]
Caen and loans
In December 2017, after trialling with Barcelona, Stavitski joined French Ligue 1 side Caen,[5][6] for a €600,000 transfer fee.[7]
After spending chaotic six months on loan with NK Osijek, in January 2019, he went again on loan for RoPS.[8]
On 4 February 2019, Stavitski was loaned out to RoPS, where he played before in 2017, until mid July.[9] Stavitski had had a long-lasting pain in his groin for about six to seven months.[10] It resulted in a surgery in April 2019 and he would be out for the rest of the season. Stavitski returned to France to get treatment in Caen.[11]

On 7 January 2022, his contract with Caen was terminated by mutual consent.[13]
Later in 2022, Stavitski spent time with Norwegian Eliteserien club Sarpsborg on trial, but the deal was collapsed due to injury.

Due to consecutive injuries, Stavitski had already ended his career.[14] However, he returned to Finland for the 2023 Veikkausliiga season and signed with Inter Turku on a one-year deal with an option to extend.[15] On 4 February 2023, Stavitski made his first competitive appearance in over two years, helping Inter to take a 1–0 win in a Finnish League Cup match against IFK Mariehamn.
On 17 August 2023, his contract with Inter was extended for the 2024 season, with an option for 2025.[16] The option was exercised in August 2024.[17]
