Rebrov is currently in his second spell with Dynamo Kyiv having also previously played for Shakhtar Donetsk, Tottenham Hotspur, Fenerbahçe and West Ham United.

Rebrov joined Shakhtar Donetsk as a youth in 1990. In his debut 1991 season, then a 17-year old, he scored 2 goals in 7 games in the USSR Premier League. In his second season, playing in the newly established Ukrainian Premier League, he became a joint 3rd goalscorer, catching the eye of Dynamo Kyiv scouts. Rebrov moved to Dynamo Kyiv in August 1992 and has since become the highest all-time scorer in the Ukrainian Premier League. As of April 3, 2007, his total tally in the league with Shakhtar and Dynamo was 120 goals in 249 games.

He scored several key goals in European competitions, notably in the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons of the UEFA Champions League, including a famous goal against Barcelona from a tight angle. Kyiv reached the Champions League semi-final in 1999 but lost to Bayern Munich on aggregate. In the 1999-00 season Rebrov became a joint top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 10 goals (including 2 goals in qualification games) as Dynamo progressed to the last sixteen before going out on head-to-head record against Real Madrid. As of September 14, 2006 Rebrov remained a joint 13th all-time scorer in the history of the Champions League/European Cup with 30 goals.

In June 2000 he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for £11 million but after the sacking of George Graham in March 2001, he was unable to establish himself under new manager Glenn Hoddle. He went out on two consecutive loan spells to Fenerbahçe and subsequently signed a one year contract with West Ham United.

On June 1, 2005, Rebrov became a free agent after declining to re-sign and two days later he signed a new two-year contract with Dynamo Kyiv, with the option of a one year extension. In the new 2005-06 season, Rebrov became Dynamo's top scorer with 13 goals, two behind league joint top scorers Brandão and Okoduwa, despite playing in midfield. Rebrov also topped the league in points (goals plus assists) and was named player of the season according to a poll of team coaches and captains.

Rebrov's club exploits earned him a recall to the national team and a ticket to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, where he scored a long range shot against Saudi Arabia as Ukraine progressed to the quarterfinals before going down to Italy.

He is currently (as of November 21, 2007) the third most capped player in the Ukrainian national team history having represented his country 75 times and is their second all-time scorer with 15 goals.
