Georgios Valerianos (Greek:Γεώργιος Βαλεριάνος; born 13 February 1992) is a Greek professionalfootballer who plays as aleft-back forKategoria Superiore clubTirana.
Valerianos began playing football withOlympiacos. 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 againstPanthrakikos on 11 April 2010, where he appeared as a second-half substitute.[1] On 22 July 2014 he signed forIraklis in theGreek Football League.[2] Valerianos debuted for Iraklis in acup match againstLamia.[3] On 12 August 2015, he signed a contract with second-tier clubApollon Smyrnis.[4] On 29 January 2016, he solved his contract with the club.[5]
The 27-year-old left back can be considered as somewhat of a journeyman despite his age as in July 2017, signed withAris that officially announced his acquisition.[6] 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. Eventhis 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 clubPafos for an undisclosed fee.[7] On 4 July 2019, the international back will have an intermediary station in his career after being loaned toRiga, a Latvian football club, which owns the same property status asPafos. According to sources the borrowing will take just a month for the international left back in order to help the club for the2019–20 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round.[8]
On 25 June 2021, Valerianos returned toGreece, signing a two-year contract withIonikos.[9]
On 19 March 2019, Greece head coachAngelos Anastasiadis announced the first call up of Valerianos for the match againstLiechtenstein andBosnia and Herzegovina forUEFA Euro 2020.[10] He made his debut on 30 May 2019, in a friendly against Turkey, as a starter.[11]
