Club career

In June 2013, Dvali moved to Latvian Higher League side FC Skonto,[1] before moving again three months later to English Championship side Reading.[2][3] Reading loaned Dvali back to Skonto in February 2014, for the 2014 season,[4] before he was again loaned out in February 2015, this time to Süper Lig side Kasımpaşa for the remainder of the 2014–15 season.[5]

On 31 August 2015, Dvali signed a one-year contract, with the option of a second, with German 2. Bundesliga side MSV Duisburg.[6] The contract was voided on 21 December 2015.[7] He joined Śląsk Wrocław on 13 January 2016.[8]

On 3 March 2017, he was loaned to Irtysh Pavlodar,[9] with the deal expiring on 11 June 2017.[10]

On 24 July 2017, he moved to Pogoń Szczecin.[11]

On 30 January 2019, Dvali transferred to Ferencváros.[12]

International career

Dvali was called up for the Georgian national team in October 2014 for the game against Gibraltar, having previously missed out on the squad to face Scotland due to visa problems in travelling to Scotland.[13]

He made his debut on 29 March 2015 in a European qualifier against reigning World Cup champions Germany, replacing the injured Aleksandre Amisulashvili after four minutes in a 0–2 defeat at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in his native Tbilisi.[14]
