Career

Perspective
Omonia
On 26 September 2017, Tzionis signed his first contract as a professional footballer, joining Omonia.[2]
Tzionis finished the 2017–18 season with just two appearances. However, in Summer 2018, the club underwent a change of ownership, and put a large emphasis on youth development. This resulted in Tzionis being given more opportunities the following season, which he took advantage of, scoring his first three goals for the club.[3][4]
The 2020–21 season proved successful for player and team alike, as Tzionis helped Omonia win the Cypriot First Division for the first time in over a decade. He scored seven goals in the competition, many of which played a vital role in winning the league. In addition, he played his first continental games, including all six of Omonia's games in the 2020–21 Europa League group stage.[4]
Tzionis scored his first goal in a European competition on 5 August 2021, in a 1–0 win over Flora Tallinn, in a Europa League qualifier.[5]
Sporting Kansas City
On 24 January 2022, MLS club Sporting Kansas City announced they had signed Tzionis on a three-year contract,[6] for a reported fee of around €1.6 million.[7]
FK Čukarički
On 26 July 2024, Tzionis joined Serbian SuperLiga side FK Čukarički.[8]
