Yiannis Papadopoulos (Greek: Γιάννης Παπαδόπουλος; born 9 March 1989 in Thessaloniki) is a Greek footballer, currently playing for Aris FC. He was the captain of the Greece Under-19 team. He plays in a central midfield role predominantly, although he is capable of playing as a left midfielder and also as an attacking midfielder.

Club Career

Iraklis F.C.

Papadopoulos started out his career at Iraklis F.C. as a trainee. His second season was a very impressive one, catching the eye of major Greek teams in 2007–08, which eventually earned him a move to Olympiacos F.C. on 3 June 2008. The transfer fee was thought to be around 800,000 Euros. Papadopoulos is left-footed, and his main strength is his powerful shot which he uses to great effect by often shooting from long distances.

Olympiacos F.C.

On 5 October 2008, Papadopoulos became a man as he made his Olympiakos debut as a substitute for teammate Dudu Cearense against city rivals AEK Athens. He impressed, having played a creative role in the second goal of Olympiakos' 2–0 win. After he had terminated his contract with Olympiacos in July 2011, he switched to Dynamo Dresden.

Dynamo Dresden

On 12 August 2011 he debuted with the club in a victorious 4-0 home win against Union Berlin. His first year in 2. Bundesliga was an impressive one having 24 appearances, 15 as a starter. Unfortunately the period 2012/13 was mostly a substitute, therefore after he had terminated his contract with Dynamo Dresden in July 2013, he signed a 1-year contract with Aris, returning to Super League.

Aris

He made his debut with the club in 18th August in an away loss from Apollon Smyrni.

International Career

He is member of Greece U21 and Captain of Greece U19. On 29 May he demonstrated this capability by scoring a 30-yard shot against Russia for the Greece U19 team.
