Kostas Giannoulis

Kostas Giannoulis (Greek: Κώστας Γιαννούλης; born 9 December 1987) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a left-back for OFI.

Club Career

Panionios

He started his professional career in 2005 with Panionios, but he failed to make a single appearance for the club, and he was loaned to Fostiras and Pierikos. He made 25 appearances for Pierikos in their successful Gamma Ethniki campaign, where they won the title and promotion to Beta Ethniki.

Iraklis

In summer 2007, he signed for Iraklis, where he was established as a starting left-back by his then-coach, Angel Pedraza. He made a total of 55 appearances in the Greek Superleague for the team.

Koln

In May 2010, he signed for Bundesliga side 1. FC Koln. Koln have been quick to indicate their contentment with this deal. "We are very glad to have signed Konstantinos Giannoulis, who will be a gain for the defence," said general manager Michael Meier to the club's official website. "He fits exactly our left back requirements for the coming season." Kicker reports that because of Iraklis ongoing financial difficulties, Koln have been able to swoop for the defender by tabling a "low six-figure fee". They were not the only German outfit interested in the full-back, as Kaiserslautern had already made concrete steps towards securing the Greek's signature. After half a season however, having never played for the first team, he was told that he could leave the club for free.

Atromitos

On 23 June 2011, he agreed to sign a season-long loan deal with Greek Superleague side Atromitos, where he made 25 appearances and scored 1 goal. On 7 August 2012, Giannoulis was officially released by 1. FC Koln and subsequently signed a three-year contract with Atromitos.

On 28 June 2014, the 27 years old defender signed an extension of his contract (which ended at 2015) for another two years in presence of the Technical Direct
