Edgars Gauračs (born 10 March 1988, in Rēzekne) is a Latvian footballer who is currently playing for the Latvian Higher League club FK Liepāja on loan from FK Spartaks Jūrmala and Latvia national football team as a striker.
Until summer 2006 he played for Blāzma Rēzekne, but after training in Italy with teams like Milan, Sampdoria and Lazio, he signed with Ascoli. He was released from the Italian club in 2009.
FK Ventspils signed him before the UEFA Europa League matches in 2009. He appeared for FK Ventspils in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League group stages. He scored a goal against Hertha BSC in the first match 1–1 draw. During the winter transfer period in 2009 after several great performances many clubs from Romania and Greece showed their interest in signing him during the winter transfer window.
Gauračs finally signed a contract with FC Rapid Bucureşti in Romania and he joined the club on loan from Ventspils until the end of the season. The club’s owner, George Copos, confidently announced that the player had a bright future ahead of him at his new club, where he would have stayed for 4 more years if Rapid had activated its option for a permanent deal in the summer. Rapid paid 50,000 € for the loan. Edgars made his debut for Rapid on 28 February 2010 in a league match against Unirea Urziceni, coming on as a substitute. Unfortunately, Edgars had to fight with his injuries all season long, appearing only in six team matches without scoring a single goal. In June 2010 he returned to FK Ventspils but was released in July.
