After the defender was on the ice in the 1998/99 season exclusively for the Islanders' farm teams , the Lowell Lock Monsters of the American Hockey League and Roanoke Express of the East Coast Hockey League , he made his debut for in the 1999/2000 season New York in the National Hockey League .

Then Korljow moved during the 2003/04 season to their league rivals Severstal Tscherepowez , for whom he played the following year and a half.

Before the 2005/06 season Korolev received a contract with HK Dynamo Moscow , with which he won the IIHF European Champions Cup in 2006. After a season at Metallurg Novokuznetsk , he signed with SKA Saint Petersburg from the newly founded Continental Hockey League before the 2008/09 season . In January 2011 Koroljow was signed by the OHK Dynamo before he was signed by Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk in May 2011 .

In May 2012 he returned to Lokomotive Yaroslavl, but did not play a game for the club until October of that year before the contract was terminated.

Between 2016 and 2018 he was assistant coach at Barys Astana , and during the season he was also assistant coach of the Kazakh national team .
