Spartak Moscow
On 18 July 2014, it was announced that Shirokov had signed a contract with Spartak Moscow as a free agent.[1] After a long recovery from an injury he made his debut for Spartak on 26 October 2014 in a game against Lokomotiv Moscow, scoring a late equalizer in a 1–1 game. On 13 January 2015, he was loaned back to FC Krasnodar.[2]
Shirokov was benched during the 2015–16 season, in order to not pay him the amount due to him by contract if he plays a certain number of minutes.[3] The President of the RFU, Vitaly Mutko, commented: "He's one of the best footballers in our country. I don't understand why he's not playing. If it's due to the contract clause that's just dishonest."[4] On 23 January 2016, his Spartak contract was dissolved by mutual consent.[5]
CSKA Moscow
On 9 February 2016, he returned to his first club, CSKA Moscow, signing a contract until the end of the 2015–16 season with an extension option.[6] His contract was not extended at the end of the season.[7]

On 2 June 2014, he was included in Russia's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad.[13] He was excluded from the squad on 6 June due to injury.[14]
Style of play
Shirokov was described as "a deep-lying midfielder with an aptitude for getting forward to score goals".[15]
Post-playing career
On 5 June 2018, Shirokov was appointed by Dynamo Moscow as the deputy general director in charge of sports.[16] He left Dynamo on 1 May 2019.[17]
During an amateur game in August 2020 he attacked a referee with punches to his face and kicks once he had knocked the referee to the ground, causing the referee to be hospitalized for three weeks.[18][19][20] He was reported to the police for assault.[21] He was tried and found guilty by a Moscow court.[20] He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service.[20] He was also suspended by his employer, Match TV.[20]
