In summer 2007, he started training with the first team and signed a professional contract, connecting him with the club until 2010. Zlatkov made his debut during the 2007–08 season on 10 May 2008 in a 2–2 away draw against Beroe. A few days later, he had a trial with Dynamo Kyiv, but did not do enough to secure a contract with the Ukrainian club. In June 2008, Zlatkov was sent to Pirin Gotse Delchev on loan for one year. In the 2008–09 season, he earned 27 appearances playing in the second division, scored seven goals and provided five assists.

After that Zlatkov joined Cherno More Varna and he even played in a few games.[8] In September 2016, a week after the dismissal of Nikolay Kostov, Zlatkov returned again to Botev Plovdiv.[9] On 23 February 2017, his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[10]
