Bundesliga side FC Carl Zeiss Jena on a short-term deal until the end of the 2006–07 season.[1] He left Jena in June 2007 and joined FC Karpaty Lviv in Ukraine.
He made his debut for the Georgian national team in 1998 and has been capped 25 times for the team as of 2006. In July 2007 Lomaia was loaned from FC Carl Zeiss Jena to Ukrainian side FC Karpaty Lviv. Having played two matches in Lviv, Lomaia departed due to the club's dissatisfaction with his physical conditions.
