Marinos Tzionis (Template:Lang-el; born 16 July 2001) is a Cypriot professional footballer who currently plays for Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City as a winger.

Career

Omonia

On 26 September 2017, Tzionis signed his first contract as a professional footballer, joining Omonia.[2]

Tzionis finished the 2017–18 season with just two appearances. However, in Summer 2018, the club underwent a change of ownership, and put a large emphasis on youth development. This resulted in Tzionis being given more opportunities the following season, which he took advantage of, scoring his first three goals for the club.[3][4]

The 2020–21 season proved successful for player and team alike, as Tzionis helped Omonia win the Cypriot First Division for the first time in over a decade. He scored seven goals in the competition, many of which played a vital role in winning the league. In addition, he played his first continental games, including all six of Omonia's games in the 2020–21 Europa League group stage.[5]

Tzionis scored his first goal in a European competition on 5 August 2021, in a 1–0 win over Flora Tallinn, in a Europa League qualifier.[6]

Sporting Kansas City

On 24 January 2022, MLS club Sporting Kansas City announced they had signed Tzionis on a three-year contract,[7] for a reported fee of around €1.6 million.[8]
