He became a professional footballer in <strong>Kavala<\/strong>, with which he signed his first professional contract in July 2011, while in the 2012-13 season he had his first full campaign at senior level in the <strong>Football League<\/strong> championship, making 20 appearances and scoring one goal.<\/p>\n<p>The next season he transferred to <strong>Fostiras<\/strong>, where he stayed for just six months and then left for <strong>Patras<\/strong> to join <strong>Panachaiki<\/strong>. He stayed at the <strong>Achaia<\/strong> club for one-and-a-half seasons, making 48 appearances and essentially winning his promotion to the Super League.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Platanias<\/strong> gave him the opportunity to showcase is skills. <strong>Kargas<\/strong> showed that he was more than capable of playing at the top level of <strong>Greek<\/strong> <strong>football<\/strong>, and in 18 months he made 26 appearances for the <strong>Cretan<\/strong> team, scoring two goals.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of <strong>2017<\/strong> he was released and <strong>Panionios<\/strong> made him a resident of Athens again. His passage from the Blue and Reds proved to be short-lived, as in February 2018 a proposal came from <strong>Belarus<\/strong>. <strong>Dynamo<\/strong> <strong>Brest<\/strong> gave him the opportunity to test his strengths abroad.<\/p>\n<p>He stayed there for a year, playing in 26 games, winning the Belarus Cup and the Super Cup, before returning to his homeland in January 2019 with <strong>PAS Giannina<\/strong>. In the first half of his return to Greece, he played in 11 matches, and in the summer he left for <strong>Bulgaria<\/strong>, to join in Lefksi Sofia, with which he made 29 participations in the 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n<p>He returned to <strong>Ioannina<\/strong> and established himself as a key member of the team. He played a total of 73 games and scored six goals for <strong>PAS<\/strong>. After the very good season last year, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> decided to put their trust in him to bolster the team\u2019s defense. <strong>Kargas<\/strong> will be a <strong>PAOK<\/strong> player for the next three years!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome Giannis!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kargas is here - PAOK TV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xftGKnUaBX0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PAOK FC announces the acquisition of Giannis Kargas from PAS Giannina.
