Gakhokidze played in 25 of PSV's 34 matches that season. However, mainly due to injuries he only got a total of eight matches in the following season. Recovered from the injuries he moved to
FC Twente and had a good season with a lot of match rhythm and some goals as well. Gakhokidze felt the need to return to the eastern part of Europe and switched toUkraine basedMetalurg Donetsk . At this team however he only came to a total of two matches, while at his following teamFC Krylya Sovetov Samara he did not play at all. His former team FC Twente decided to contract him again, but injuries forced him to set back most of the time and he only came to 19 appearances from 2005 to the end of 2006. On 29 December 2006 Gakhokidze decided to terminate his contract and end his career at the age of 31.Besides his club appearances Gakhokidze also played in 21 matches for the Georgian national team, and scored 3 goals.
