Guram Kashia, born on the 4th of July 1987, is a robust Georgian defender currently plying his trade at Slovan Bratislava. Standing six feet tall (1.84m) and clocking in at 12 stone 3 pounds (78kg), Kashia commands the centre of defence while proudly donning the number 4 jersey. A well-rounded footballer, Kashia also stands tall in the ranks of the Georgia national team.
As a testament to his ability, Kashia's current market value hovers around the £212k mark, as per Transfermarkt. His existing contract with Slovan Bratislava promises him ten more months of action, slated to end on the 30th of June 2025.
Kashia has had his fair share of adventure in league football, with the major chunk of his career spent in the Netherlands with Vitesse. His debut season in 2010-2011 saw him step on the pitch 28 times, netting the ball thrice. His next seven seasons followed a similar trend, with Kashia regularly taking the field and scoring a smattering of goals each year. His most successful venture was in the 2015-2016 season, when he made 27 appearances and scored five goals.
Post his time in the Netherlands, Kashia found himself in a different part of the world with the San Jose Earthquakes in the USA. His stint spanned three seasons from 2018 to 2020, with contributions varying from 12 appearances in 2018, to a minimal six appearances in 2020.
Currently, as we roll through the 2024-2025 season, Kashia has been seen in action five times for Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia. His international experience paints an equally rich picture, with features in the Euro 2024 for Georgia as well as multiple Euro Qualifiers. His club exploits have also seen him participate in the Champions League Qualifiers and the Conference League.
