Club career

Bulvītis started his professional career in 2007 with Daugava Daugavpils. Having played there for one season, he made 7 league appearances and scored no goals. In 2008 he had a one-year spell in the Lithuanian A Lyga with FK Šiauliai, playing 21 games and scoring once. In 2009 Bulvītis returned to his homeland, signing a contract with FC Tranzit. That season he played 17 matches and scored 1 goal in the Latvian Higher League, before being loaned to the Scottish First Division side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He signed on loan until January 2010 after a successful trial spell at the club.[1] He was recommended to join the club by fellow Latvian and former Inverness defender Pāvels Mihadjuks.[2] Bulvītis made his debut for Caley Thistle in a Co-operative Insurance Cup match against Annan Athletic.[3] He scored his first goal against Stranraer in the CIS cup. FC Tranzit permitted Bulvītis to extend his loan spell at Caley until the end of the season.[4] Bulvītis left Inverness at the end of the 2009–10 season, signing for the Latvian Higher League club FK Ventspils before the start of the Eurocups.[5] He played 10 matches for FK Ventspils, scoring no goals. In January 2011 he went on trial with the Slovak Super Liga club Spartak Trnava and signed a two and a half-year contract with them.[6] Because of a long term injury he was released by the Slovak side in the middle of 2011. Bulvītis then returned to Latvia, joining Spartaks Jūrmala. During 3 seasons with the club he scored 9 goals in 56 league matches. In July 2013 Bulvītis joined Skonto Riga on a three-year contract.[7] He played 15 league matches and scored 3 goals for the club before leaving the club in January 2014 due to a long-term delay of salary payment.[8] On 24 January, 2014 Bulvītis signed a one-year contract with the Swiss Super League club FC Aarau with an option to extend it for another season.[9] In April 2014 his contract was extended for another year.[10] During his first season in the Swiss Super League Bulvītis played 18 matches, scoring no goals.
