Club Career

VfL Bochum

On 9 April 2016, Pavlidis signed a professional contract until the summer of 2019. Pavlidis is in the Bochum team for one and half years and has redeemed his stunning appearances in the Bundesliga U19 competitive league (45 matches - 20 goals - 13 assists) and his excellent presence with the first Bochum team in which he regularly participated in the training sessions, as well as in official friendly games. Pavlidis was voted, according to FIFA, as one of the 15 greatest talents in the finals of the previous European U17 Championship in Bulgaria. The Westphalian team is betting a lot to the young striker since the 2016–17 season, so it hastened to bind him with a new contract until 2019, as German, English and Italian teams have been very interested in the past few years.

On 15 May 2016, he made his debut with the club as a substitute in a 2. Bundesliga 4–2 away win against 1. FC Heidenheim.

Loan to Borussia Dortmund II

On 26 January 2018, Pavlidis joined Borussia Dortmund II on loan for the second half of the season. On 22 June 2018, Pavlidis loan spell was extended until summer 2019.

Loan to Willem II

On 17 January 2019, Willem II confirmed the signing of young Greek international on loan from Bochum until the end of the 2018–19 season. On 23 January 2019, he scored his first goal with the club after Marios Vrousai's assist in a 3–2 away KNVB Beker win against FC Twente. On 16 February 2019, he scored his first goal in Eredivisie, with a right footed shot from very close range to the bottom right corner in a 3–2 away loss against Vitesse.

Pavlidis only moved to Willem II as a loanee from German side VfL Bochum in January, but he's already managed to make a solid impression in the Eredivisie, popping
