Athens Kallithea FC announce the acquisition of attacking midfielder Giannis Sardelis on a free transfer.

Sardelis, 23, is a former Greece youth international who has passed through the academy of AEK Athens and the reserve team of Panathinaikos.

In August 2021, Sardelis moved on to Panathinaikos B, where he would make 70 appearances with 12 goals and five assists in Super League 2 over the last three seasons.

In international play, Sardelis has represented Greece at the Under-18, Under-19, and Under-21 levels, most recently making five appearances with two goals in qualifying for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

Welcome, Giannis.
