Anestis Argyriou (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Ανέστης Αργυρίου; born 4 January 1988) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a right-back.
Argyriou began his career with Aetos Skydra (was on loan from Veria F.C.) in Delta Ethniki. In Skydra he performed admirably and was tipped as a hot prospect.
After many good performances in 2007 Argyriou signed for Super League team Panthrakikos being deployed as a right fullback or central defender. In April 2010 he had a successful week's trial in Blackburn.[1]
On 11 May 2010 Argyriou agreed to sign for AEK Athens along with a teammate at his previous club Panthrakikos, Spyros Matentzidis. He scored his first goal in a friendly match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. in a 1–0 victory for AEK Athens. He made his first appearance in the Greek Super League against Panathinaikos. In July 2012 Argyriou's contract was terminated by AEK to pay off club debts.
On 12 August 2012, Argyriou joined Rangers on trial and later signed a two-year contract with the club on 25 August 2012.[2] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Berwick Rangers on 26 August.[3] On 18 September 2013 Rangers announced that defender Anestis Argyriou had mutually agreed to terminate his contract.[4]
On 22 July 2014, Argyriou joined Polish side Zawisza Bydgoszcz on five-day-long trial.[5] On 31 July he signed a two-year contract with the club.[6] Argyriou made his Ekstraklasa debut on 10 August in home match against Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała (1–2).
