Nikola Gjorgjev (Macedonian: Никола Ѓорѓев; born 22 August 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga Portugal 2 club Farense.[1] Born in Switzerland, he plays for the North Macedonia national team.

Grasshopper Club Zürich

Gjorgjev is a youth exponent from Grasshoppers. He made his Swiss Super League debut on 14 March 2015 against FC Thun. He replaced Yoric Ravet after 77 minutes.[2] He was loaned out to Eredivisie side FC Twente Enschede on a two-year deal in July 2017.[3] 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.[4] This option was not taken at the end of the season and Gjorgjev returned to Grasshoppers at the end of the season.[5]

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.[6] 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.[7] 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.

FC Aarau

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.[6] He departed Aarau at the end of the 2024–25 season.[8]

Farense

On 27 June 2025, Gjorgjev signed with Farense in the Portuguese second tier.[9]
