Career
Goderdzishvili started his career at 2nd division club Mretebi in 1990. After two seasons, he joined Armazi-90 playing also in the 2nd league. Following these four years in which he scored 37 goals, Goderdzishvili made his debut in the Umaglesi Liga on 8 August 1993 for Sapovnela who convincingly beat Metalurgi 3–0 in their first ever top-flight game.{{cite news |title=პირველი იყო კორღალიძე |trans-title=Korgalidze was 1st |url=https://www.worldsport.ge/ge/page/pirveli-iyo-korgalidze |access-date=19 April 2025 |work=worldsport.ge |date=9 November 2011 |language=KA}}
On 12 July 1997, Goderdzishvili scored his first European goal as Merani-91 secured a 3–1 away victory over Austrian side SV Ried in a UEFA Intertoto Cup tie.{{cite web |title=SV Reid vs Merani-91 Match report |url=https://www.worldfootball.net/report/ui-cup-1997-1998-gruppe-12-sv-ried-fc-merani-tbilisi/ |website=worldfootball.net |access-date=19 April 2025}}
Although he frequently changed the clubs, in most cases Goderdzishvili would display his goalscoring skills in full, becoming a team top scorer. After the 2000–01 Umaglesi Liga season, he shared third place in the goalscoring race with Zurab Ionanidze and two years later, he came fifth in the charts along with two other players. On 6 November 2002, Goderdzishvili notched a goal for Locomotive against Milani to enter the 100 club as its 13th member.
In 2004, Goderdzishvili joined 2nd division club Chikhura. Over next three years, he netted 41 times and helped them gain promotion to the top flight. In August 2006, Goderdzishvili played in the Umaglesi Liga for the last time before deciding to hang up his boots at the age of 33.
He racked up 181 goals in 391 league appearances, including 102 goals in 255 top-flight games for eleven teams.{{cite web |title=Davit Goderdzishvili |url=https://footballfakts.ru/person/225978-goderdzishvilidavid |website=footballfacts.ru |access-date=19 April 2025 |language=ru}}
