He participates with the Georgia team in the 2015 European Rugby Union Under-18 Championship, where he goes with his team to the final. He is recalled again for the 2016 edition of the competition.

Following the World Cup, he left for France and joined the Stade Aurillacois, within the club's hopeful workforce. He made his Pro D2 debut in December 2018, coming into play against Aviron Bayonnais.

In early 2019, he won his first selection with Georgia, against Romania. In September, he is in the group that participates in the World Cup in Japan. He played four games there, including two as a starter.

In early 2020, he scored his first try with Georgia against Portugal. At the end of the year, he started in the four matches of the Nations Cup of autumn, including a double against Fiji.
