Paata Gudushauri (Georgian: პაატა ღუდუშაური; born 17 June 1997) is a Georgian professional footballer who currently plays as a midfielder.

Known for his speed and dribbling ability,[1] Gudushauri has won the Georgian top league with Dinamo Batumi. Individually, Gudushauri was named as most prolific player of the 2023 season and included in Erovnuli Liga's Team of the Season.

Career

[edit]

Being a product of WIT Georgia's academy, Paata Gudushauri spent five seasons at this club, initially in the junior team, before making a debut in a professional league.

In 2018, he became the topscorer of his club by netting 10 goals. At the end of the season, which saw WIT Georgia to climb back to the top division, the club recognized Gudushauri as Player of the Year.[2] On 11 March 2019, he scored his first top-league goal in a 1–1 draw against Chikhura Sachkhere.[3]

As the team failed to avoid relegation this season, Gudushauri joined Dila Gori the next year, plagued by COVID-19.[4] But due to his suspension resulting from some disciplinary issues, he resumed to play official matches in early 2021.

In July 2021, Gudushauri made his first appearance in Dila's European campaign against Žilina, who claimed victory in a two-legged tie.[5]

In the summer of 2022, he signed a contract with Dinamo Batumi until December 2024.[6]

Gudushauri had a memorable year in 2023. Apart from winning the league with Dinamo for the first time, he received several individual awards. In early October, the Erovnuli Liga named Gudushauri as the best player of the 3rd phase which implied nine matches between rounds 19 and 28. During this period, he netted five times and made six assists.[7] Overall, with a tally of 12 goals and 13 assists Gudushauri was recognized as the most valuable player of this season[8] and subsequently included in Team of the Season at an annual awards ceremony held on 4 December 2023.[9]

On 31 July 2024, Israeli Premier League club Bnei Sakhnin announced the signing of a contract with Gudushauri.[10] However, after having appeared for the team in six matches, the player opted to leave two months later due to safety reasons resulting from the ongoing combat activities with regard to Lebanon.[11]
