Career
Born in Sofia, Velev played for Septemvri as a schoolboy, before joining Slavia Sofia. But he found it difficult to break into the first team due to the consistency of Slavčo Georgievski and Pavle Popara.
In June 2008 Velev signed a two-year contract with Lokomotiv Stara Zagora. He made his B PFG and Lokomotiv debut on 9 August in a home 1–0 against Shumen, scoring the goal of the win.
On 13 March 2017, Velev signed a 1+1⁄2-year contract with Slavia Sofia.[3] He left the club at the end of the 2017–18 season when his contract expired.[4]
On 15 June 2018, Velev signed with Sepsi OSK.[5]
International career
Velev earned his first cap for Bulgaria on 29 May 2012, after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 0–2 loss against Turkey in an exhibition game.
