Odisharia spent first ten years of his football career at Salkhino's academy in Martvili where he played as a forward. Since age 16, Odisharia has been playing as a winger on both flanks.[1]

After representing Merani Martvili at U17 level, Odisharia was signed by Dinamo Tbilisi for their reserve team. Loaned for six months back to Merani, Odisharia took part in ten games in the 2nd division during the 2021 season. On 16 April, he netted his first official goal in a 2–1 loss to WIT Georgia.[2] On 2 October 2022, Odisharia made a debut for the senior team in a goalless draw against Torpedo Kutaisi.[3] He contributed to Dinamo's winning season[4] with seven league appearances and one goal.

During the 2024 winter transfer window, Odisharia signed a three-year contract with Latvian champions Rigas FS.[5] The club achieved the double this season, first winning the national cup on 30 October 2024, followed by the league trophy five days later.[6]

On 3 October 2024, Odisharia opened his goal account in European competitions by scoring an equalizer in a UEFA Europa League 2–2 draw against Galatasaray.[7]

Odisharia featured in all ten matches of Georgia U21's 2025 UEFA Championship qualifying campaign in 2023–24. As the team secured a play-off spot against Croatia, Odisharia scored against Gibraltar[8] and provided four assists.
