Georgia defender Aleksandr Amisulashvili is leaving FC Dynamo Kyiv to return to fellow UEFA Champions League contenders FC Dinamo Tbilisi in his homeland.

New start
The 22-year-old, who had only just gone back to Dynamo after six months on loan at FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, hopes to kick-start his career in Tbilisi after failing to win a regular place with the Ukrainian side he joined in spring 2004.

Former glories
Capped six times by his country, Amisulashvili will seek to emulate his first spell at Dinamo when he won the league and cup in 2003. The former FC Torpedo Kutaisi and FC Samtredia player has made a total of 99 appearances in the Georgian top flight, scoring eleven goals. Dinamo play the home first leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie against Brøndby IF of Denmark tonight, when Dynamo also get their campaign rolling against Swiss visitors FC Thun.
