KOCHI: Kerala Blasters announced their first foreign signing of the season by roping in Greek-Australian international Apostolos Giannou for the upcoming season of Indian Super League. The 32-year-old striker joins Blasters from A-League Club Macarthur FC. The signing comes just in time for the Blasters, who have seen many prominent players leaving the club in the last few months.
Born in Greece, Giannou moved to Australia at a young age and played for youth teams at the Victorian Institute of Sport and South Melbourne, before making his professional debut with the Oakleigh Cannons. He moved to Greek first division side Apollon Kalamarias 14 years ago. He then had stints with several Greek first-division teams like Kavala, PAOK, Ethnikos, Panionios, and Asteris Tripoli, recording 38 goals and 15 assists in over 150 appearances.
