Giorgi Beridze (Georgian: გიორგი ბერიძე; born 12 May 1997) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a winger for TFF First League club Kocaelispor and the Georgia national team.

Club career

[edit]

Gent

[edit]

A youth product of Zestaponi, Beridze moved to Dila Gori in 2013 and made his professional debut on 2 May 2014 in a 2–1 loss to WIT Georgia in the Umaglesi Liga.[1] He returned shortly to Zestaponi in 2015, before being signed by Belgian Pro League club Gent later that year where he joined the youth academy.[2]

Loans

[edit]

In January 2017, Beridze joined Slovak Super Liga club Trenčín on a six-month loan. He made his debut for the club against Slovan Bratislava on 25 February 2017 and netted the equalizer in the match.[3] He extended his contract with Gent until 2020 during his loan, which was also extended by another season.[2] His efforts for Trenčín meant that he was awarded the award as player of the season.[2]

Another two loan spells followed between 2018 and 2020 to Újpest and Lokeren, respectively.[4] He scored his first goal for Lokeren on 26 September 2019 in the first minute of the Belgian Cup match against Antwerp which ended in a 4–2 loss.[5]

Újpest

[edit]

On 1 October 2020, Beridze joined Újpest on a permanent deal after his contract with Gent had expired.[6] He made his return debut on 4 October, coming off the bench for Zoltán Stieber in the 66th minute before scoring in injury time in a 5–1 loss to Fehérvár.[7]

Beridze won the Magyar Kupa in his first season at the club, becoming top goalscorer of the tournament as well with six goals.[8]

Ankaragücü

[edit]

Beridze signed with Süper Lig club Ankaragücü on 28 May 2022, joining the club on a two-year deal with an option for an additional year.[9] He scored his first goals for the club on 4 September, bagging a brace in a 3–2 home loss to Beşiktaş.[10]

Kocaelispor

[edit]

On 12 September 2023, Beridze penned a two-year contract with an option for an additional year with TFF First League club Kocaelispor.[11] Just four days later, he made his debut for the team, showcasing an immediate impact by providing his first assist within three minutes of coming off the bench at half-time. This contribution led to a pivotal 2–1 home victory against Boluspor.[12] On 6 October, Beridze scored his first competitive goal for Körfez in a 1–1 league draw against Erzurumspor FK.[13]

International career

[edit]

Beridze made his debut for Georgia national football team on 1 June 2018 in a friendly against Malta.[14]
