Dimitrios Kolovetsios

Having started the season as third choice centre back behind Rodrigo Moledo and Giorgos Koutroubis, the Larissa born defender has gradually earned the trust of Marinos Ouzounidis to become a starter at the expense of the latter.

Signed by Marinos Ouzounidis in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer from AEK, Kolovetsios has drastically improved under Giorgos Donis, earning a call up to the Ethniki squad along the way as a reward for his efforts.

[10] On 1 July 2020, with two minutes left Kolovetsios rose highest to score after a corner delivered by Giannis Bouzoukis, in a 2–0 home win game against Aris.

The Turkish club had agreed with both Panathinaikos (it will keep a resale rate of 30%) and the player, but they had to wait for a while for the transfers' ban to be lifted permanently, imposed on them last season for breaches of the licensing regulation.

[12] On 23 December 2021, Kolovetsios was extremely unlucky in the match between his club and Yeni Malatyaspor, as a forced change was made due to injury and the examinations he underwent showed that he had a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, that will keep him in the sidelines for at least six months.
