Dimitrios Grontis (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Δημήτριος Γροντής; born 24 August 1994) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Gamma Ethniki club Panionios.

Career

Grontis began his career at the infrastructure segments of AEK Athens, signing a professional contract with the club in 2012. On 25 August, he made his professional debut against Asteras Tripoli, playing for 81 minutes.[1] Ηe followed the club throughout its decline and its relegation to the Third Division,[2] as well as its rebirth, staying until January 2016, having made a total of 45 appearances for the club.[3]

On 20 January 2016, Grontis moved to fellow Super League side Atromitos, signing a 2,5-year contract.[4] However, in January 2017, his contract was terminated by mutual consent. Three days after his release from Atromitos, Grontis joined Iraklis. On 25 January 2017, he scored his first goal in a crucial 2–0 away win against Veria.[5] His excellent performances helped his team avoid relegation, as Iraklis finished the season with 4 wins in its last 5 games. However, in light of the team's insurmountable financial problems, he was forced to leave the club.

In July 2017, Grontis joined Super League side AEL on a 3-year contract. He was however immediately loaned out to Football League Trikala,[6] and left AEL in the summer of 2018, signing a contract with second-tier club Aittitos Spata.[7] After the first half of the 2018–19 season, Grontis moved to another second-tier club Ergotelis on a free transfer in January 2019.[8]
