Nikola Gjorgjev (Macedonian: Никола Ѓорѓев; born 22 August 1997) is a footballer who plays as a right winger for Aarau. Born in Switzerland, he plays for the North Macedonia national team.
Gjorgjev is a youth exponent from Grasshoppers. He made his Swiss Super League debut at 14 March 2015 against FC Thun. He replaced Yoric Ravet after 77 minutes.[1] He was loaned out to Eredivisie side FC Twente Enschede on a two-year deal in July 2017.[2] As he only got two caps in the first half of that season, he was loaned to FC Aarau in the Swiss Challenge League in February 2018, with an option to buy.[3] This option was not taken at the end of the season and Gjorgjev returned to Grasshoppers at the end of the season.[4]
At Grasshoppers, he became a mainstay in the first squad and eventually became instrumental in securing their promotion back to the Swiss Super League in 2021, with seven goals and ten assists.[5] However, in their first season back in the top Swiss league, he barely got playtime anymore. On 12 February 2022, Gjorgjev moved to Schaffhausen on loan until the end of the season.[6] He quickly established himself in the starting lineup. In 16 games, he supplied four goals and five assists, helping Schaffhausen qualify for the Promotion Play-offs, where they lost to FC Luzern.
Following his loan spell at Schaffhausen and his subsequent return to Grasshoppers, his contract was not renewed and he instead signed a two-year deal with his former employer FC Aarau.[5]
Born in Switzerland to Macedonian parents, Gjorgjev originally represented various Swiss youth football teams.[7] However, he switched to the Macedonia national football team and made his debut for them in a friendly 3–1 win over Azerbaijan on 29 May 2016.[8]
