Giorgi Iluridze (Georgian: გიორგი ილურიძე; born 20 February 1992 in Tbilisi) is a Georgian footballer, playing for Zestafoni.
Career
A product of his hometown's FC Dinamo Tbilisi and a youth international, Iluridze was scouted and signed by FC Anzhi Makhachkala in 2010, where he made his first team debut in the Russian Premier League on 6 May 2010, aged 18, in a 3-0 away loss against FC Spartak Moscow, coming in the 75th minute for Mikhail Bakayev.[1] He gathered 4 further caps for his team before a row of injuries impeded his career.[2][3] After his recovery, he couldn't get any further chances with the first team, playing with Anzhi's youth squad until the end of 2011. In early 2012 he signed with FC Dila Gori back in his native Georgia, where he would spend the next year and a half before moving to Croatia's HNK Hajduk Split in late August 2013, having been noted by his new team after he had scored the sole goal in Dila's 1-0 away win in the UEFA Europa League against them.[4] He made his Hajduk debut on 14 September in a 2 - 0 home win against Dinamo Zagreb.
International career
A former youth international, Iluridze was called up for Georgia's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification Group I matches in September 2013 against France and Finland but he didn't join the team due to injury.[4]
