During that period he made a lot of appearances with the Joint Athens Children and Youth teams for many years. The journey continued in 1996 with his transfer to Marko, which at that time participated in the Third National category, for 3 and a half years. Next stop was the historic team of Apollon Athens in the First National category for 2 and a half years. Panahaiki and Kallithea will follow where at the end of the championship (A National category 2004-2005) his name is in the third place on the list of scorers with 12 goals, behind Fanis Gekas and Giovannni Oliveira.

With PAOK he will make many appearances in the league and in Europe (Champions League and Europa League) thereby fullfilling a childhood dream. His next team was Atromitos, where he only played for six months as was could not refuse a proposal from the historical team of Aris Thessaloniki.
