Club career

Early career

Shelia began his professional career in the Georgian top-tier league with Gagra during the 2009–10 season.[1][2] He departed from the club after a series of injuries and limited playing opportunities.[1] He initially ventured abroad to Ukraine with hopes of securing a contract with Dynamo Kyiv's reserve team.[1] After failing to secure a contract with Dynamo, he would remain in Ukraine and play in the national amateur league with FC Marspirt.[3]

In 2011, he continued playing at the amateur level with FC Zbarazh and the following season with Dnister Zalishchyky.[4]

Georgia

After several stints abroad, he returned to his native Georgia in 2014 by signing with Skuri Tsalenjikha in the country's second division.[1] In his debut season with the club, he appeared in 20 matches and recorded 2 goals.[3] Throughout his tenure with Skuri, he served as the team captain.[1] He departed the club in 2016 when the organization began to experience financial difficulties.[1]

Ukraine

In 2017, he returned to the Ukrainian national amateur circuit by securing a deal with Nyva Ternopil.[5] He left the club after making 5 appearances in the early summer of 2017.[6] Following his departure from Nyva, he returned to the professional ranks by signing a contract with FC Ternopil in the Ukrainian third division.[7] His time with Ternopil was brief as he only appeared in 3 matches.[8] For the remainder of the 2017 season, he played with Nyva Terebovlya where he appeared in 12 matches and recorded 4 goals.[9][10][11]

In 2018, he played with DSO-Podillia where he won the Ternopil regional cup.[11][12][13] Shelia would sign with Agronyva-TNPU for the 2019 season.[14] Shortly after his signing, he was named the club's acting head coach.[12][15] In his debut season as manager, he led Agronyva to a third-place finish in the standings.[16]

Canada

In the summer of 2023, he went abroad once more this time to play in the Canadian Soccer League with the Toronto Falcons.[17] He would record a hat trick on August 26, 2023, against Ooty Black Pearl.[18] Shelia would assist the club in finishing third in the standings.[19]
