Aburjania kicked off his career with Metalurgi Rustavi in 2010. He then had stints with Dila and Lokomotivi Tbilisi. On 17 June 2014, he signed for Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta on a two-year contract.[1]

Aburjania subsequently became an undisputed starter for Vicente Moreno's side, and scored his first goal for the club on 20 March 2016 in a 4–0 away routing of Bilbao Athletic.[4] On 2 August he signed a four-year contract with Sevilla FC, being assigned to the reserves also in the second division, for a rumoured fee of € 1 million.[5]
