Overview
- Holstein Kiel announced the signing of Giorgi Kvilitaia from FC Metz on a free transfer with a contract running through 2027.
- Kvilitaia is a 32-year-old international who has 44 caps for Georgia and played at Euro 2024.
- He has played for eleven clubs in seven countries with notable spells at Rapid Wien and APOEL Nicosia.
- Kvilitaia joined Metz in the winter from Aris Limassol, made ten appearances with two goals, and could not prevent Metz's drop to Ligue 2.
