Club career

edit

Rekhviashvili began his career in 2008 at Olimpi Rustavi, who were regarded as one of the strongest teams at the time. Namely, during a four-year period between 2008 and 2013 the club was among the top three and once secured the league title.[1] Rekhviashvili was a regular player, taking part in 59 league matches in the two seasons. He scored his first European goal in a 1–1 home draw against Aktobe on 21 July 2010.[2]

In 2011, he signed a contract with Dinamo Tbilisi and lifted four titles in next three years. Rekhviashvili left the club in June 2014.[3]

Twice, in 2017 and 2018, Rekhviashvili was selected in Erovnuli Liga Team of the Season.[4][5]

Outside of Georgia, Turkish club Boluspor was the first club he joined in 2014 after an impressive performance in Europa League with Chikhura.[6][7] Later he also spent two seasons combined in Latvia and Greece.

International

edit

He made his debut for the Georgia national football team on 23 January 2017 in a friendly against Uzbekistan.[8]
