Sergo Kukhianidze (Georgian: სერგო კუხიანიძე; born 23 April 1999) is a Georgian footballer who plays as a forward for Estonian Meistriliiga club Narva Trans.

He has also played for the national youth and senior teams.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Born in Kutaisi, Kukhianidze joined Martve Kutaisi at the age of nine. Later he moved to Torpedo and initially played in youth and reserve teams. Kukhianidze made his debut on 13 May 2017 in a 3–0 win over Kolkheti Poti as a substitute.[2] He was a squad member of the team which won Erovnuli Liga in its inaugurating 2017 season.

After half season spent at Liga 2 side Merani Martvili on loan, Kukhianidze joined Samgurali Tskaltubo in the 3rd division and became the league top scorer with 16 goals. He bagged a brace in a 9–0 aggregate play-off victory over Kolkheti Poti, which resulted in promotion to the 2nd tier.[3]

Kukhianidze maintained his status as a main goalscorer for two more years at Samgurali. The 2021 season turned out rewarding. Eventually, with 11 goals, he ended up 4th among the Erovnuli Liga goalscorers and received a nomination for the best forward of the season.[4]

In May 2023, he left Samgurali and signed with Dila Gori on a two-year deal.[5] After two months he made a debut in European competitions, taking part in Dila's all six UEFA Conference League matches this season.

On 6 February 2024, Kukhianidze signed his first contract with a foreign club. Narva Trans announced his transfer on a one-year contract.[6] In his third match for the team, Kukhianidze bagged a brace in a 2–0 win over Nomme United on 30 March.[7]

International career

[edit]

In May 2021, Georgia national team head coach Willy Sagnol named him in the squad for friendlies against Romania and Netherlands.[8] He made his debut on 6 June in a 3–0 defeat to Netherlands.[9]
