Career
Return to AEK Athens
On 16 August 2018, reigning Greek champions AEK Athens have re-signed Svarnas from Xanthi, by penning a five-year contract with the young international. Lacking depth in central defence with Ukrainian Dmytro Chyhrynskyi still on the sidelines, the Athenian club strengthen the squad with UEFA Champions League and Superleague commitments approaching.[1] On 5 February 2020, Svarnas headed Marko Livaja’s clever pass across the penalty area into the net, in a 1–1 away Greek Cup draw against Panetolikos. It was his first goal with the club in all competitions.[2]
On 9 July 2020, Svarnas scored helping to a 2–0 home win against OFI, after a nice free-kick from Marko Livaja.[3]
On 22 September 2020, as a reward for his solid performances, he signed a contract extension, running until the summer of 2025.[4]
Raków Częstochowa
On 18 April 2023, Svarnas signed a four-year deal with Polish club Raków Częstochowa, having already been with the team on loan since July 2022.[5]
