Irakli Bidzinashvili (Georgian: ირაკლი ბიძინაშვილი; born 27 February 1997) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Erovnuli Liga club Samgurali.

Bidzinashvili has won the top Georgian league.[1]

Career

[edit]

A product of Saburtalo's academy,[2] Bidzinashvili started his professional career at this club at the age of 16. On 21 September 2013, he came off the bench in Saburtalo's second-division game against STU. On 24 March 2014, he contributed with his first senior career goal to a 4–1 over Samgurali.[3]

The next year Saburtalo secured promotion to the Umaglesi Liga[4] with Bidzinashvili taking part in 25 league games. His first top-division goal came in a dramatic 2–2 draw against Samtredia, in which Bidzinashvili scored a late leveller.[5]

Having played 84 games for Saburtalo, Bidzinashvili left the team in 2017. Following a short-time spell at Armenian club Noah, he joined Latvian side Jelgava.[6]

In 2020, Bidzinashvili returned to Georgia and joined Dila Gori, where twice in a row he won the bronze medals of the Erovnuli Liga. In 2021, apart from making a debut in UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers with two appearances, Bidzinashvili became a key player who among two other footballers was nominated as the best midfielder. Although ultimately not selected, Bidzinashvili featured in Team of the Year.[7]

After this season he signed with crowned champions Dinamo Batumi.[8] In his first two years, Bidzinashvili became a regular player for this title-chasing club by taking part in 59 league games. In 2023, he won his first top title with Dinamo.[9]

On 31 January 2024, Kazakhstan Premier League club Zhenis announced the signing of Bidzinashvili.[10] His stint there lasted around five months though, as the sides parted ways in the summer break[11] and the player moved to Torpedo Kutaisi.

On 21 January 2026, Saburtalo, now renamed as Iberia 1999, announced the return of Bidzinashvili to the club after an eight-year pause.[12] Six months later, he moved to Samgurali.[13]
