Career

Mamageishvili entered Saburtalo's academy at the age of six. Having come through the club's youth ranks, he played for the reserve team before making his first-team debut in the Erovnuli Liga at 17 against Samtredia on the final day of the 2020 season.[1] The next year, Mamageishvili lifted the first trophy after his team cruised to victory over Samgurali in the cup final.[2] Mamageishvili scored his first top-flight goal on 18 March 2023 in a 3–3 away draw against Samtredia.[3]
On 7 December 2023, Saburtalo claimed the second cup title following a narrow injury-time victory over Dinamo Batumi[4] with Mamageishvili playing full time. Overall, he took part in three matches of Saburtalo's cup campaign this season.
As the club changed its name to Iberia 1999 in early 2024,[5] Mamageishvili became the league champion for the first time in his career. On 1 December 2024, he came off the bench and equalized, and later provided an assist in a 2–1 champion's decider against Gagra.[6] His overall personal contribution to this league success amounted to six goals and four assists.[7] A year later, Mamageishvili, being the team captain now, helped the team to defend the title and, besides, received more individual recognition. Apart from being named in Team of the Year, he was named as Midfielder of the Year by the Erovnuli Liga. [8]
In December 2025, Mamageishvili signed with SK Sturm Graz on a 3,5 year-long deal.[9]
