Club career[edit]

Born in Tbilisi, Kochorashvili played youth football for FC Saburtalo Tbilisi. He made his first team debut on 23 July 2017, playing the last 16 minutes in a 1–2 home loss against FC Torpedo Kutaisi.

In August 2017, Kochorashvili was loaned to Girona FC for two years, and was assigned to the youth setup. On 26 June of the following year, after finishing his formation, he was assigned to the farm team in Segunda División B.[2]

On 19 July 2019, after Girona's offer was rejected by Saburtalo,[3] Kochorashvili signed a three-year contract with Levante UD, being immediately assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[4] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 12 July of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for Rubén Rochina in a 1–2 home loss against Athletic Bilbao.[5]

On 30 August 2022, Kochorashvili was loaned to Primera Federación side CD Castellón for the season.[6]
