He made his first team debut in Iraklis' away draw against Nea Kallikrateia.[3] He has also scored his only goal for the club to date in a home win against Apollon Arnaia.[4] After the merger of the team with Pontioi Katerini, Tsilianidis was introduced in the merged club's squad and made his professional debut for Iraklis in a home win against Aetos Skydras.[5][6][7][8] Tsilianidis was loaned out to Aiginiakos during the 2013 winter transfer window.[9] He debuted for Aigianiakos in an away draw against Kassiopi and scored his first goal in a home draw against Odysseas Kordelio.[10][11] Tsilianidis returned to Iraklis after his loan period ended.[12]
