In February 2015, the club was renamed to Ingulets. The club again competed in the 2015 Amateur Championship but during the season the club entered the professional ranks and joined the PFL entering into the Ukrainian Second League. Ingulets Petrove continued its participation among amateurs with its second team, FC Inhulets-2 Petrove.[4]

In their first season, the club were promoted to the Ukrainian First League.[5]
