Davit Volkovi

Davit Volkovi (Georgian: დავით ვოლკოვი; born 3 June 1995) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as striker for Zira in the Azerbaijan Premier League.

Club career Georgia Born in Georgian capital Tbilisi, Volkovi played the 2012–13 season with FC Gagra in the Georgian Premier League scoring 10 goals in 26 appearances. Being only 18 at the time, it was no surprise local power-house FC Dinamo Tbilisi brought him at the end of the season. Initially, he played mostly for the second team which was competing in second level, the Pirveli Liga. By the end of his second year at reserves team, he was incorporated to the first team in the second half of the 2014–15 season.

Return to Georgia After spending half a season at the bench in Serbian second tier, Volkovi was hungry of scoring goals. He had already demonstrated that when in the last round Zemun gave him a chance and he scored in his only league appearance. Zemun got the promotion, but with the uncertainty if he will receive a first team starter status or risk continuing on the bench, in summer 2017, Volkovi decided to return to Georgia and signed with top league side FC Saburtalo Tbilisi. He was a starter in the goalless first-round game against FC Kolkheti-1913 Poti but already in the second round Volkovi confirmed his goal-scoring skills and made a hattrick in a 6–0 victory against FC Locomotive Tbilisi.

On 21 December 2019, Zira announced the singing of Volkovi on an 18-month contract starting 1 January 2020.

On 12 June 2022, Sabah announced the singing of Volkovi to a two-year contract.

On 13 June 2024, Zira announced the singing of Volkovi to a two-year contract.

International career He made his debut for Georgia national football team on 11 November 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Sweden, a 2–0 home victory for Georgia. He scored his first international goal four days later, the only goal in a friendly 1–0 victory over Uzbekistan.
