The Keeper began his career at Olympiacos Volos, playing in their youth and reserve teams before signing for PAOK in 2007 as PAOK's manager Fernando Santos needed an extra goalkeeper for the upcoming season. He made his official debut for the club in a cup fixture in 2008. He was then shipped out on loan, making a handful of appearances, before establishing himself in the first team fold in the 2011–12 season. From then, he has regularly done battle with the other keepers in the squad to secure the No1 spot.

He came to the tournament in solid form, keeping a clean sheet once every three league games during the 2013–14 season. Fernando Santos gave Glykos his debut back on 5 March 2014 in a friendly match against South Korea and was impressed enough to include him among his final 23 in Brazil. After first-choice keeper Orestis Karnezis injured his back, Glykos came on as a substitute in the 24th minute for Greece in their World Cup match against the Ivory Coast in Brazil.
