He has played in four countries and won eight titles in all competitions in Georgia. Individually, with 22 goals scored for Chikhura in the 2018 season, Gabedava shared a goalscorer's prize with Budu Zivzivadze. He has also been named as Player of the Year and Forward of the Year.

Career

Gabedava started his youth career at Odishi Zugdidi. At the age of 17, he made a debut for Mglebi Zugdidi. In early 2008, Gabedava joined Olimpi Rustavi, one of the strongest domestic teams of the time.

The Georgian Cup was the first trophy Gabedava lifted during his career. In 2011, he helped Gagra secure an extra-time win over Torpedo and qualify for UEFA Europa League. On 21 July 2011, he scored his first international goal in a 2–0 win against Anorthosis. [1]

In the summer of 2013, Gabedava signed with Chikhura. [2] Out of five seasons spent at this club, Gabedava especially shone in 2018. He was awarded the Player of the Year and Forward of the Year titles and named among best eleven players of the season. [3]

On 19 July 2018, his goal from the penalty spot ensured Chikhura's away victory over Israeli club Beitar in UEFA Europa League qualifiers. [4]

Following this season, Gabedava moved to Poland in a 1,5-year deal with Zagłębie Sosnowiec, but returned home following the latter's relegation from the top division. The defending Georgian champions Saburtalo became his next club [5] where during the next two seasons he won the national cup and Super Cup.

In 2020, Gabedava became a winner of the national league for the first time with Dinamo Tbilisi, [6] followed by another top title two years later.

In February 2023, Israeli club Hapoel Acre announced signing Gabedava until the end of the season. [7] After taking part in two league matches of the new season in October, the player opted to leave the club citing safety reasons. [8]

In March 2024, Gabedava joined Erovnuli Liga 2 side Rustavi.
