Akaki "Andy" Gogia (Georgian: აკაკი გოგია; born 18 January 1992) is a German footballer of Georgian descent who plays as a midfielder for Brentford. He began his career in Germany with VfL Wolfsburg, before signing for Hallescher FC in 2013.[1] He won international youth caps for Germany at U18 and U19 level. His nickname is "Andy".[2]

Club career

VfL Wolfsburg

A midfielder,[2] Gogia began his career in Germany as a junior with FSV 67 Halle and Hannover 96,[3][4] before transferring to VfL Wolfsburg in 2004.[5] He came through the youth ranks and made his reserve team debut in February 2010, going on to make 9 appearances.[6] He scored prolifically for Wolfsburg's U17 and U19 teams,[7] netting 44 goals in 86 games and helping the side to the U19 Bundesliga championship in the 2010–11 season, scoring in the final versus 1. FC Kaiserslautern.[8] Along with three other reserve players, Gogia was promoted to the first team squad in December 2010 by general manager Dieter Hoeness and coach Steve McClaren,[9] who dropped Karim Ziani and Caiuby to the reserves.[10] After being included in the party for a winter training camp in Marbella,[9] Gogia was called into the senior squad for the first time for a Bundesliga match versus Bayern Munich on 15 January 2011.[11] He remained an unused substitute for the 1–1 draw and was called up twice more during the 2010–11 season.[12] He failed to win any further first team call ups and departed the club in July 2013.[13]

FC Augsburg (loan)

On 11 May 2012, it was announced that Gogia had joined Bundesliga side FC Augsburg on loan for the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons.[14] Allotted the number 28 shirt, he made the first professional appearance of his career when he came on as a substitute for Marcel Ndjeng in a 2–1 DFB-Pokal first round win over Rot-Weiß Oberhausen on 30 July 2011.[15] He made 14 appearances during his spell,[16] which was cut short by torn ligaments in his left knee.[17] Gogia returned to Wolfsburg at the end of the 2011–12 season.[18]

FC St. Pauli (loan)

In July 2012, Gogia signed on loan with 2. Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli on a season-long loan.[19] He scored the first senior goal of his career in a 3–2 win over SSV Jahn Regensburg on 8 March 2013.[20] He made 24 appearances and scored once before returning to Wolfsburg at the end of the 2012–13 season.[6]

Hallescher FC

After failed trials with SC Paderborn 07 and Heracles Almelo,[21][22] Gogia dropped down the 3. Liga to sign for hometown club Hallescher FC in July 2013 on a two-year deal.[23] He made 80 appearances and scored 26 goals during his two seasons with the club.[6][24][25] He finished their 2014–15 Saxony-Anhalt Cup campaign as joint-top scorer and netted in a 6–0 rout of neighbours VfL Halle 1896 in the final.[25]

Brentford

On 16 May 2015, it was announced that Gogia had signed a "long term" contract with English Championship club Brentford on a free transfer.[26] He made his debut with a start on the opening day of the 2015–16 season, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–2 draw with Ipswich Town.[27] After missing almost all of September with a thigh injury,[28] After a change of manager and system in early October,[29] Gogia dropped out of the starting lineup and out of the squad altogether by December, save for two substitute appearances in January 2016.[30] A further injury in March 2016 kept Gogia out of the squad,[31] but he returned to make four substitute appearances in the following month.[30] He made 14 appearances during the season.[27]

International career

Gogia won seven caps for Germany at U18 and U19 level,[32][33] scoring once in a 2–1 friendly defeat to Belgium on 25 March 2011.[34] In May 2015 it was reported that Georgia had contacted Gogia about a call up.[35]

Personal life

Gogia was born in Rustavi, Georgia and moved to Halle, Germany with his parents at the age of 9 in 2001.[4][35]
