# Levan Kutalia

Levan Kutalia (Georgian: ლევან კუტალია; born 19 July 1989) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays a forward for 2nd division club Rustavi.
He has won five Georgian trophies with three different clubs and the Erovnuli Liga goalscorer's award.

## Career

Levan Kutalia started his career in his home town. After a one-year tenure at Mglebi, he became the first Georgian player who moved to a Bosnian football division. While playing for Slavija Sarajevo, he was named the 2nd best foreign player of the league.
Later Kutalia had to return to his boyhood club, which bore four different names during his four seasons there - Mglebi, Baia, Zugdidi, Dinamo. For the last time the sides signed a one-year deal in January 2015.
In July 2017, the striker joined Torpedo Kutaisi, where he clinched all three domestic trophies. He personally contributed to a Super Cup victory with his injury-time winner against Chikhura.
After his departure from Torpedo, Kutalia signed a season-long contract with Dinamo Tbilisi. The 2019 season ended with his wide recognition, as the league top scorer was named Striker of the Year.
In a sharp contrast, his next move turned out unfortune. After taking part in two games for Irtysh Pavlodar, his new club was suspended due to financial issues. Besides, he did not get paid for four months and could not get back home as a result of COVID restrictions.
On 27 July 2020, Kutalia signed in Hapoel Tel Aviv from the Israeli Premier League.
On 7 July 2023, Alashkert announced the signing of Kutalia. In the winter break, the player left the club as its top scorer with 12 goals in 19 league appearances.
In March 2024, Kutalia joined Georgia's reigning champions Dinamo Batumi. In his third appearance for his new team, he scored and sealed a 2–0 win against his former club Dinamo Tbilisi on 8 April. The latter sustained another defeat following Kutalia's winning goal in early August in his debut game for Samgurali who had signed him a few days earlier. On 10 November 2024, Kutalia became only the second player of this league season to net four goals in a single match as his team came from behind to beat Gagra 4–2.
In February 2025, Kutalia moved to Erovnuli Liga 2 side Rustavi.
