Endeladze has played for clubs such as Guria and Margveti, scoring 40 goals in 30 league games during the 1995–96 season, which made him the top scorer in European domestic competitions and would have won the European Golden Boot had it not been suspended in 1991. The award was reinstated a season after Endeladze's feat under new rules that would count goals scored in the Georgian Top League as one point while goals scored in Europe's top leagues are counted double.
He retired from football in 2010 aged 44,{{cite news |title=ქართველი ფეხბურთელი, რომელმაც ევროპის ოქროს ბუცი მოიგო |url=https://goal.ge/news/43640/qartveli-fekhburteli-romelmac-evropis-oqros-buci-moigo |agency=goal.ge (in Georgian) |date=17 May 2016}} but remained in football working as a coach for youth teams in Kutaisi.{{cite web |title=მიყვარს, მიყვარს ბომბარდირი - ვინ არის "ოქროს ბუცის" პირველი ქართველი მფლობელი და როგორ გახდა ის 90-იან წლებში რეკორდსმენი |url=https://rustavi2.ge/ka/news/287644 |website=rustavi2.ge (in Georgian) |date=21 July 2024 |access-date=29 January 2025}}
