Guram Giorbelidze (Georgian: გურამ გიორბელიძე, romanized: guram giorbelidze; born 25 February 1996) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Erzurumspor.

Club career

After spells at Sioni Bolnisi and Dila Gori in his home country, Giorbelidze joined Austrian Football Bundesliga side Wolfsberger AC in July 2020, signing a two-year contract with an option of an additional year.[1] On 29 November 2020, he made his professional league debut for Wolfsberger AC, as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Ried.[2]

On 17 July 2022, he joined Polish Ekstraklasa side Zagłębie Lubin on a two-year deal.[3] Giorbelidze quickly earned a spot in the starting line-up and made 15 league appearances for Zagłębie in the first half of the season. Following Piotr Stokowiec's dismissal, Giorbelidze was deemed surplus to requirements by the new manager Waldemar Fornalik.[4] On 22 February 2023, he was sent on loan to Dinamo Batumi until the end of the season.[5]

On 7 August 2023, Giorbelidze signed a two-year deal with Serbian SuperLiga side Vojvodina.[6]

In early September 2024, Giorbelidze joined Turkey's second-division side Erzurumspor on a year-long deal. [7]

International career

After first being called up in October 2017, Giorbelidze made his debut for Georgia U21s in October 2018.[8] He debuted with the Georgia national team in a 1–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification loss to Sweden on 25 March 2021.[9]
