A little more play time he was given in 1982 and 1983, but eventually he was transferred out to Dinamo Samarqand for couple of seasons that was playing a tier below. In 1986–1989 Sysenko was a regular first-squad player for his hometown Pamir and made his debut in the 1989 Soviet Top League.

In 1995 he returned to playing for Kuban and then moved to Nakhodka. After 1995 he played for lower-tier or amateur teams in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Central Asia before retiring in 2000.
