Club career[edit]
Rekhviashvili began his career in 2008 at Olimpi Rustavi, who were regarded as one of the strongest teams at the time.

He scored his first European goal in a 1–1 home draw against Aktobe on 21 July 2010.[2]
In 2011, he signed a contract with Dinamo Tbilisi and lifted four titles in next three years. Rekhviashvili left the club in June 2014.[3]
Twice, in 2017 and 2018, Rekhviashvili was selected in Erovnuli Liga Team of the Season.[4][5]
Outside of Georgia, Turkish club Boluspor was the first club he joined in 2014 after an impressive performance in Europa League with Chikhura.[6][7] Later he also spent two seasons combined in Latvia and Greece.
