Club career

After graduating from the Karpaty Lviv youth system, the senior team signed him in 2004. Instead, he played two seasons for Karpaty Lviv's reserve team in the Ukrainian Second League.

Dankiv left Karpaty Lviv in 2007 to sign with town rival Lviv in the Ukrainian First League. In his debut season with Lviv, he played in the Ukrainian Cup against Prykarpattia Ivano-Frankivsk. Throughout the tournament, the team reached the round of 16, where they lost to Illichivets Mariupol. He also helped Lviv secure promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League. Dankiv was re-signed the next season and also debuted in the country's Premier League. The following season, Lviv were relegated, and Dankiv was loaned to Enerhetyk Burshtyn. He returned to Lviv for the remainder of the 2009-10 season. In his final season with Lviv, he played in the Oleg Makarov Memorial final, where FC Putrivka defeated them.

After four seasons with Lviv, he joined league rival Bukovyna Chernivtsi in the 2011 winter transfer market. Bukovyna re-signed him for the 2011-12 season.

He left Bukovyna during the 2012 winter transfer market, and Poltava signed him in the country's third-tier league. In his debut season, he helped Poltava secure a promotion by winning their division. The following season, he continued playing with Poltava.

After two seasons with Poltava, he signed with league rival UkrAhroKom Holovkivka. The next season, he played in the Lviv region for FC Lapaivka.

He re-signed with Toronto for the 2016 season. In his second season with the club, he helped the team secure another playoff berth. In the playoffs, the team was eliminated in the preliminary round by the Serbian White Eagles.

Dankiv returned to the CSL circuit for the 2019 season with FC Vorkuta. In his debut season with Vorkuta, he helped the club secure the league's first division title.
