Born in Blacktown, Australia, Georgievski spent his youth career at Australian side Marconi Stallions and Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb. He began his professional career with Međimurje in Croatia and later went on to play with NK Sibenik

On 27 June 2012, it was formally announced that Georgievski had penned a contract with title-chasing Steaua București of the Romanian Liga I.[3]

On 11 September 2014, Georgievski joined the Melbourne Victory football club of the A-League on a one-year deal, and was granted the number 15 kit.[4] Georgievski made his Melbourne Victory and A-League debut against home town club Western Sydney Wanderers on 10 October 2014, the league's first match of the tenth season, and played the left back role. His debut lasted 86 minutes and he came off with a standing ovation from his new supporters.[5] His first goal was on 5 December 2014, the second of three by the Club at Central Coast Mariners in the 68th minute. His next came on 21 March 2015 at Adelaide United in the 63rd minute.

Georgievski signed a two-year extension to his contract on 26 June 2015.[6]

On 30 Mar 2017, it was announced that Georgievski would be leaving Melbourne Victory at the end of the 2016–2017 season with a move to Newcastle. He was awarded the Joe Marston Medal as man of the match in the 2017 A-League Grand Final, despite Melbourne losing the match to Sydney FC in a penalty shootout.[7]

Georgievski has become an integral part of the Newcastle Jets team. In his first season with the Jets, the team made it to the A-League Championship Final, although unfortunately lost to Melbourne Victory 1–0.[8]

In May 2019, it was announced that Georgievski left Newcastle Jets and joined Western Sydney Wanderers.[9]
