Tornike Kapanadze (Georgian: თორნიკე კაპანაძე; born 4 June 1992), nicknamed Elva, is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Erovnuli Liga 2 club Sioni Bolnisi.

Kapanadze has won seven trophies in all three domestic competitions and received individual recognition with different clubs.

Career

Kapanadze started his professional career at Samtredia in 2009, although his first achievement came with Samgurali in 2012–13, when he became the Pirveli Liga top goalscorer with 27 goals.

In 2013, Kanapadze netted his first two European goals in Torpedo Kutaisi's 3–3 draw against Žilina.[1]

Early next year he moved to fellow Imeretian club Zestafoni.[2]

Kapanadze enjoyed a long-time prolific period at his hometown team Torpedo Kutaisi. Apart from winning the league and the Cup, twice in a row he became the top goalscorer. In its inaugural 2017 year, the Erovnuli Liga named Kapanadze in Team of the Season.[3] Following the 2018 season, he received the Player of the Season, Best Forward and Goal of the Year awards from the club.[4] His scissor kick goal scored against Chikhura Sachkhere on 21 November 2018 was also widely recognized.[5]

Kapanadze spent the 2020 season at Dinamo Tbilisi[6] and the next year joined Dila Gori[7] where he became the top scorer for two consecutive seasons.

In January 2023, Dinamo Batumi announced the signing of contract with Kapanadze.[8] At the end of this season, he lifted the champion's trophy for the third time in his career.

As his contract expired in January 2024, the striker moved to Liga 2 side Sioni.[9]
