Club career

Perspective

Gigauri started his professional career at Torpedo Kutaisi in 2010. He scored his top-flight goal in a 1–0 win against Zestaponi.[2]

After the first season, Gigauri left the club on loan.[3] He made his Ekstraklasa debut for Jagiellonia Białystok on 26 November 2011 in a game against ŁKS Łódź as a 58th-minute substitute for Hermes.[4] Despite the lack of playing time, his desire was to stay on with this club,[5] although he returned to Torpedo after the loan agreement had expired.

In July 2016, he joined Pirveli Liga side Rustavi,[6] who won their league group this season in spite of a six-point deduction.

At the end of 2016, Gigauri moved to Torpedo again,[7] where he earned four trophies, including the league title in 2017.

When a severe financial crisis hit the club in mid-2019, twelve players were forced to find new teams. On 27 June 2019, Gigauri signed a one-year contract with Gabala.[8] During the first fourteen games he was four times included in the symbolic team of the league.[9]

In the summer of 2022, Gigauri started his fourth spell at Torpedo,[10] where he was confirmed as the team captain next May. Gigauri netted his first European goal with Torpedo in 2023. His injury-time leveller against FK Sarajevo helped the team to make it through to the second round of the UEFA Conference League.[11]

On 8 November 2024, Gigauri was greeted with heartwarming gestures from the fans on his 250th appearance for Torpedo in a 1–0 win over Dinamo Batumi.[12]

On 4 July 2025, Gigauri joined Hong Kong Premier League club Lee Man.[13]
