Giorgos Valerianos (Greek: Γιώργος Βαλεριάνος; born 13 February 1992) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Cypriot First Division club Pafos.[1]

Club career

Giorgos Valerianos began playing football with Olympiacos. He is a very talented player and one of the best young players who were playing in Olympiacos U-21. He made 44 appearances for the youth team with four goals. Valerianos was first included in Olympiacos' first team in a league match against Panthrakikos on 11 April 2010, where he appeared as a second-half substitute.[2] On 22 July 2014 he signed for Iraklis in the Greek Football League.[3] Valerianos debuted for Iraklis in a cup match against Lamia.[4] On 12 August 2015, he signed a contract with second tier club Apollon Smyrnis.[5] On 29 January 2016, he solved his contract with the club.[6]

The 27-year-old left back can be considered as somewhat of a journeyman despite his age as on July 2017, signed with Aris that officially announced his acquisition.[7] His path to the top has been chequered and he has had to do it the hard way, meaning a lot of resilience was needed. Even this season at Aris, he has been a squad player that has been rotated in and out of the team.

On 1 July 2019, after two years with Aris, Valerianos signed a three years' contract with Cypriot club Pafos for an undisclosed fee.[8] On 4 July 2019, the international back will have an intermediary station in his career after being loaned to Riga, a Latvian football club, which owns the same property status as Pafos. According to sources the borrowing will take just a month for the international left back in order to help the club for the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round.[9]

International career

On 19 March 2019, Greece head coach Angelos Anastasiadis announced the first call up of Valerianos for the match against Liechtenstein and Bosnia and Herzegovina for UEFA Euro 2020.[10] He made his debut on 30 May 2019, in a friendly against Turkey, as a starter.[11]
