Giorgi Aburjania (Georgian: გიორგი აბურჯანია|tr, in Georgian pronounced as /ɡioɾɡi abuɾdʒania/; born 2 January 1995) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Portuguese Primeira Liga club AVS and the Georgia national team.
Aburjania kicked off his career with Metalurgi Rustavi in 2010. He then had stints with Dila and Lokomotivi Tbilisi. On 17 June 2014, he signed for Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta on a two-year contract.[1]
On 8 January 2016, Aburjania moved to Spain, after agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract with Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[2] He made his debut for the club late in the month, coming on as a second-half substitute for Lévy Madinda in a 2–1 home win against CD Tenerife.[3]
Aburjania subsequently became an undisputed starter for Vicente Moreno's side, and scored his first goal for the club on 20 March 2016 in a 4–0 away routing of Bilbao Athletic.[4] On 2 August he signed a four-year contract with Sevilla FC, being assigned to the reserves also in the second division, for a rumoured fee of € 1 million.[5]
On 1 August 2018, after suffering relegation, Aburjania was loaned to fellow second division side CD Lugo, for one year.[6] In July of the following year, he moved to FC Twente also in a temporary deal.[7]
On 20 September 2020, Aburjania agreed to a one-year contract with Real Oviedo in the second division.[8] The following 28 January, after being rarely used, he cut ties with the club[9] and signed a short-term deal with fellow league team FC Cartagena just hours later.[10]
On 3 July 2021, free agent Aburjania signed a two-year deal with Primeira Liga side Gil Vicente F.C.[11]
After representing Georgia at the under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, Aburjania made his debut with the full squad on 29 March 2016, starting in a 1–1 friendly draw against Kazakhstan.[12]
