Club career
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. He was loaned out to Eredivisie side FC Twente Enschede on a two-year deal in July 2017. 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. This option was not taken at the end of the season and Gjorgjev returned to Grasshoppers at the end of the season.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. 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. 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.
