Club career

[edit]

Aris

[edit]

Papazoglou made his professional debut for Aris in the 2007–08 Greek Superleague. He was promoted to the first team by coach Dušan Bajević. On 8 November 2007, he scored 2 goals in a 3–0 win against Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League.[1] After his injuries kept him from maintaining his form, Papazoglou lost coach Mazinho's confidence and was sold to fellow Superleague side PAOK FC.

On 1 June 2009, Papazoglou signed a 4-year contract with PAOK FC. He was loaned to Asteras Tripoli for the 2010–11 season.

OFI Crete

[edit]

On 8 August 2012, Papazoglou signed a two-year contract with OFI Crete. After some good displays for his new club, he was linked to a number of teams from England.[2] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Papazoglou terminated his contract with OFI Crete in order to move to Olympiakos, but only played in friendly games for the latter.[3]

On 8 August 2014 Papazoglou signed a two-year contract with Greek club Atromitos.[4] He scored his first goal for them two weeks later in a 1–0 home victory against Platanias.

Kortrijk

[edit]

In the summer of 2015 he moved to Belgian First Division A club Kortrijk,[5] and later signed a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[6] On 25 July 2015, he made his debut for Kortrijk as he scored the only goal in a 2–1 away loss at Club Brugge KV.

On 17 October 2015, in a game against Stergos Marinos's club Sporting Charleroi he scored the first goal in a 2–0 home win.[7] On 22 November 2015, he gave the lead to his club in a final 1–1 away draw against Standard Liège.[8] On 28 November 2015, he scored his fifth goal in the League in a 3–1 home win against Waasland-Beveren.[9] On 23 April 2016, he scored a goal and gave an assist in a 5–0 home win against Waasland-Beveren.[10] He started the 2016–17 season as a starter, but gradually lost his place in the starting eleven, usually playing a few minutes as a late substitute.

On 28 December 2016, it was announced that Papazoglou was sent on loan to Dutch Eredivisie side Roda Kerkrade for the rest of the season.[11]

On 28 July 2017, Papazoglou joined Norwegian Eliteserien side Aalesunds FK on loan from Kortrijk for the rest of the season.[12] On 6 August 2017, he made his league debut with a penalty goal in a 3–3 home draw against SK Brann. A week later Papazoglou helped Aalesunds gain a point in the last minute of the game in a 1–1 home draw against Viking FK.

Hapoel Haifa

[edit]

In the summer of 2018 Papazoglou moved to Israeli club Hapoel Haifa. He immediately impressed manager Nir Klinger and was included on the Europa League list.[13][14] On 26 July 2018, he made his first appearance for Hapoel coming in as a substitute and scoring the only goal in a 1–1 draw against Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar in the Europa League.[15] On 29 July 2018, he won the Israel Super Cup after a penalty shoot-out win against Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C.[16]
