Georgi Nikolaev Nikolov

Georgi Nikolaev Nikolov is a Bulgarian forward, born on 5 July 2002. He developed at Levski Sofia before joining the Ludogorets Razgrad academy in January 2017. In 2020, Nikolov made one appearance for Ludogorets Razgrad II in Bulgaria’s second tier. He moved to Botev Vratsa in summer 2021, making 15 Bulgarian First League appearances. A 2022–23 spell with Sportist Svoge brought 14 goals in 34 matches, establishing him as a dangerous penalty-box finisher. Nikolov then joined Hebar Pazardzhik, scoring a hat-trick against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 25 August 2023, before moving to Botev Plovdiv in January 2024 and scoring four times in ten matches. After a knee injury interrupted that run, he continued his career with Arda Kardzhali and has also represented Bulgaria at under-21 level.
