Gorshkov won a silver medal and placed 4th at his JGP events in 2010. He qualified for the JGP Final where he finished 8th. He won bronze at the 2011 Russian Junior Championships and was sent to the 2011 Junior Worlds, where he ranked 9th. The next season, Gorshkov took silver in his sole JGP event. He was coached by Alexei Urmanov for a number of years.[3]

In autumn 2012, Gorshkov decided to try pair skating.[3] He chose to return to single skating and made his senior international debut at the 2013 Ice Challenge where he won the bronze medal. He then won silver at the 2013 Winter Universiade.
