Ucha Lobjanidze (Georgian: უჩა ლობჟანიძე, romanized: ucha lobzhanidze, pronounced [utʃʰa lobʒanidze]; born 23 February 1987) is a retired Georgian footballer who played as a defender for several clubs in Georgia and abroad as well as for the national team.

Career

[edit]

Club

[edit]

Lobjanidze started his career at Dinamo Tbilisi junior team. In the late 2000s, he spent three seasons at the ascending Zestafoni before his move to Dnipro at estimated €2 mln.[1]

He returned in 2016 to play for Dinamo Tbilisi and won both Umaglesi Liga and the national Cup with this club.[2]

Following his one-year tenure in Kazakhstan, in early 2018 Lobjanidze returned to Georgia, but in the autumn he suffered a long-term injury, which hastened his retirement in March 2019 at the age of 32.[3]

Lobjanidze made his Georgia debut on 27 May 2008, a friendly match against Estonia. With 53 appearances during the next ten years, he was a regular member of the starting lineup.
