Since 1992 Shakhtyor has been playing in Belarusian Premier League. The team struggled through the 90s, usually fighting against relegation. In 1997 they finished at the last place in league, but were saved from relegation after two other Premier League clubs withdrew.
After transitory 1998 season, the era of club's success began. Since 1999 they have never finished below 6th place and became a staple European Cups participant.
