Dimitris Pelkas

PAOK

Pelkas made his club debut on 2 August, against Bnei Yehuda in the Europa League coming on for Apostolos Giannou. He scored his first professional goal in the return leg against Bnei Yehuda in a 4–1 home win. He made his league debut for the club on 3 September 2012 against Atromitos. On 22 August 2013, Pelkas signed for a year contract with Apollon Kalamarias on loan from PAOK playing in the Football League. He has been among the top players of the club scoring 14 goals and making 10 assists. On 7 July 2014, Pelkas signed a new one-year contract with Vitória on loan from PAOK playing in Portuguese Primeira Liga. Vitória guaranteed him playing time, and Pelkas in many games made the difference. Playing for Setubal, he heard that the Portuguese club will buy him against €350,000 and then sold him to Sporting for €1 million, but thankfully for PAOK that did not happen. The young midfielder will get his opportunities, as pointed out by Vitória's manager Domingos Paciência at the newspaper «Metrosport». "I spoke with the president of PAOK, Zisis Vryzas, and he told me that he (Pelkas) is a quality, talented player who needs time to show his abilities. At Vitória he will get his chances to show us what he's made of. The Portuguese league, as the Greek one has a lot of power and he must show us that he can handle it." On 27 July 2015, Pelkas has signed a new contract with PAOK until 2018. His indisputable best professional year so far eventually attracted the interest…

On 2 October 2015, interim Greece coach Kostas Tsanas called up midfielder Dimitris Pelkas for the match against Northern Ireland and Hungary for UEFA Euro 2016. "All players dream of someday representing their country and I am happy for this opportunity. It is an honour for me," said Pelkas. On 7 October 2015, he made his international debut as a substitute in the 3–1 away loss game against Northern Ireland. On 9 October 2021, he scored his first goal with Greece national team with a right footed shot from the right side of the box to the bottom right corner, sealing a vital 2–0 away win against Georgia, in its effort to qualify to the final phase of 2022 World Cup.
