Athanasios Papazoglou\u00a0was born on 30 March 1988. Papazoglou was a regular member of Greece’s U-21 national team, and also a member of Greece’s U-19 selection in the European U-19 Championship of 2007, in Austria, where Greece eventually lost to Spain in the final. Papazoglou, was one of the most important figures of Greece’s success in Austria. ARIS FC was his first football club. Papazoglou had signed his first contract with Aris much earlier than he actually debuted in the Greek Superleague (debuted in 2007). His goals and quick second team developments soon sent him into the orbit of Aris first team and UEFA Cup football after catching an eye of coach Du\u0161an Bajevi\u0107 who eventually promoted him and gave him chances coming from the bench of first team for the season 2007\/08. Papazoglou scored 2 goals in the Uefa Cup 3:0 win against Crvena Zvezda, and these are the most notable moments of his career, up to date. After the most amazing 20 minutes of his career against Crvena Zvezda, his long injury kept him from maintaining his form. He was out of favor of Aris’ coach Mazinho and he signed to PAOK to get his chances there. On 1 June 2009, Papazoglou signed a 4-year contract with PAOK FC. He was loaned to Asteras Tripoli for the 2010\/11 season. On 8 August 2012, Papazoglou signed a 1+1 year contract with OFI FC. Rumours said that the Greek striker was at that time considering a move to England, as Charlton Athletic had shown an interest. The former Greece Under 21 international striker had been tracked by several clubs in England after his eight goals the season that helped OFI FC escape relegation. Papazoglou’s performances saw him named in the Greek Super League’s Team of the 2012\/13 season and he was then believed to be keen on moving to England. His agent Paschalis Tountouris told Sky Sports: “There are English clubs who are interested but we can’t say which ones at this moment. He’s had a great season and now would be the right time to consider a move to a stronger league. We will have to see what offers are on the table over the next few weeks”. At the end of the 2013\/14 season, Papazoglou clearly stated that he was no longer a member of OFI FC. He played 59 games with the club in all competitions scoring 20 goals. After a short passing from Olympiakos, he played for Atromitos FC for 2 years. This season he plays in Belgian league for kortrijk FC<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
