Dimitrios Christos "Dimitris" Giannoulis (Template:Lang-el; born 17 October 1995) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Norwich City, on loan from PAOK, and the Greece national team.

Club career

Vataniakos

Starting his youth career at Vataniakos, the left-back graduated to the side’s first-team in 2012, making 33 appearances for the Katerini-based team before signing for PAOK.

PAOK

Giannoulis joined Super League club PAOK in 2014.[2]

Loan moves

He spent time on loan at Football League club Pierikos and then at Veria,[2] where his performances earned him the Nova Sports 2015–16 Super League Rookie of the Year award.[3] He then extended his contract with PAOK until 2020.[4] Further loan spells followed, first at Cypriot club Anorthosis,[5] and then back in the Super League with Atromitos,[6] where he was a regular for 18 months.[7]

Return to PAOK

In December 2018, PAOK turned down a €2.2 million offer from French Ligue 1 club Rennes,[8] and recalled the player from loan. He finally made his league debut for PAOK on 10 February 2019 as a second-half substitute against Olympiacos, and made eight appearances in what remained of their 2018–19 season.[7]

Giannoulis scored after 87 minutes of PAOK's 2019–20 Europa League play-off second leg to give his side a 3–2 win on the night, but opponents Slovan Bratislava progressed on away goals after the scores finished 3–3 on aggregate.[9]

Norwich City

In January 2021, Giannoulis was loaned to EFL Championship side Norwich City for the remainder of the season. In his time with PAOK since 2014, Giannoulis has made 74 appearances for the Greek Super League outfit, scoring twice and creating ten assists, even picking up a league title and Greek Cup winners’ medal in the 2018-2019 season. The deal included an obligation for Norwich to buy him if they are promoted to the Premier League.[10] The Greece international left-back was then left out of the 2-0 loss at Swansea but started to find his rhythm and show his ability during the 4-1 win over Stoke and the 2-0 victory over Coventry.

International career

On 15 May 2018, Giannoulis was one of nine players to make their Greek national team debuts in a 2–0 friendly loss against Saudi Arabia. He was sent off after 43 minutes of the match.[11]

Personal life

Giannoulis' older brother, Kostas, is also a professional footballer.
