Feidias Panayiotou

Feidias Panayiotou (Greek: Φειδίας Παναγιώτου; born 22 February 1989, in Nicosia) is a Cypriot football midfielder who currently plays for Ethnikos Assias. Panayiotou is a product of Olympiakos Nicosia youth system and he started his professional career from the club in 2006. He was a high potential young footballer, that's why in August 2006 Aston Villa offered Feidias Panayiotou a trial. In July 2008, at the age of nineteen, Panayiotou signed a professional contract with Iraklis Thessaloniki F.C., which competed in the Greek Superleague. However, his spell to Salonica was not successful and in January 2009 he returned to homeland, joining AC Omonia for 1.5 years. In summer 2009 he joined Alki Larnaca FC, on a loan spell from AC Omonia. However, a serious injury left him out of training for a long time, setting the continuance of his career into threat.
