Club career

Spyropoulos started his career at Delta Ethniki side Aittitos Spata, from where Panionios snatched him in July 2010 and placed him in the club's under-20 team.[1][2] In 2011, he joined Football League 2 side Niki Volou on loan from Panionios.[3] On 27 August 2012, Spyropoulos made his Superleague debut for Panionios in a victorious season opener against Aris,[4] a match where both teams used only Greek players in the starting lineups for the first time in a First Division match since 1990.[5]

On 4 January 2013, Panathinaikos announced the signing of Spyropoulos in a 4 year-deal, but his contract would be valid on 1 June 2013, when the young defender's contract with Panionios was due to expire.[6] Finally, on 31 January 2013, Spyropoulos signed with Panathinaikos. He spent three seasons with the "Greens" in which he made a total of just 20 appearances across all competitions. In September 2015, he moved to fellow Superleague side AEL Kalloni.[7]

In July 2016, Spyropoulos dropped to the second level and signed a contract with Lamia,[8] with whom he celebrated promotion at the end of the season. He made a contribution to the club's feat with 26 appearances, all of which as a starter.[9] He then moved clubs again, signing with fellow Football League Doxa Drama in September 2017.[10] On 10 September 2018, he signed a contract with newly promoted side Aittitos Spata on a free transfer. [11] On 27 October 2018, he scored in a 2-1 away loss against Platanias. [12]
