Career

edit

Early career

edit

Born in Rethymno, Delibasis started his youth career at EAR 2000's academies in 1996 and was promoted to the first team in 2002.[1] In 2004, he moved to Delta Ethniki side Doxa Platane and stayed there for a year,[1] moving to the youth team of PAOK in 2005.[1]

PAOK

edit

He was promoted to the first team of PAOK in 2007,[2] but despite good performances in pre-season friendly matches, he was not deemed fit to play in competitive matches.[3] PAOK proposed a loan move to Thermaikos in August, but Delibasis denied, as he wanted to fight for a place in the starting lineup.[3]

A first team opportunity never came by, so in 2008 he was loaned out to Agrotikos Asteras in the Football League,[4] for which he appeared in 18 league matches.[5] In 2009, he joined Football League 2 side Kozani, again on loan[6][7] – he made 28 appearances for the club, scoring a goal.[8]

Ionikos

edit

Delibasis was released from PAOK in July 2010[9] and joined Ionikos, who were playing in the Football League at the time.[10] There, he made 29 league appearances and scored the winning goal in a home match against Anagennisi Karditsa[11][12] – in the season's end however, Ionikos were relegated to the Football League 2 due to forgery,[13] and Delibasis was subsequently released.

Iraklis Psachna

edit

In 2011, Delibasis joined Evia-based Iraklis Psachna, who were recently promoted to the Football League.[1] He made 22 league appearances for the club,[11] scoring one goal in an away game against Vyzas which ended 1–1.[14]

Episkopi

edit

After seven years away from Rethymno,[15] Delibasis returned to his hometown in summer 2012 to play for local team Episkopi,[1] who were promoted to the Football League 2 for the first time in history.[16]
