PAOK FC wish happy birthday, good health and lots of success to Ergys Kace!

Ergys Kace was born on 8 July 1993 in Korytsa, Albania, and came to Greece three years later. He started playing football at Achilleas Triandria and joined the PAOK academies at the age of 12 (in 2005).

He signed his first professional contract with PAOK in December 2010 and made his senior debut a few days later, in an encounter against Panserraikos. He was shipped on loan to Anagennisi Epanomis in the summer of 2011 and enjoyed a full season at the 2nd tier, before returning to the “Double-Headed Eagle”.

Not only did he get more opportunities upon his return, but ended up being a regular and indispensable member of the team and signing an extension of his contract. He went on to record 42 appearances in all competitions (1 goal) and making his senior debut for the Albania national squad.

2013-14 season started on the wrong foot for him, but since Christmas he was able to establish himself again in the starting line-up. He ended up having played in 30 encounters and scored 1 goal.
