Klaidi Lolos

Klaidi Lolos (born 6 October 2000) is a Greek professional footballer who plays for EFL League Two club Plymouth Argyle as a striker.

Youth career

Lolos joined Plymouth Argyle in 2017 on a youth apprenticeship, having previously been at Crystal Palace. He was scouted by Argyle academy director Kevin Hodges whilst he was on trial at Birmingham City.

Lolos was part of the Argyle Youth team who performed well in the 2017–18 FA Youth Cup, notably beating Manchester City on penalties in the third round. Lolos opened the scoring in the fifth round against Fulham, but that was where Argyle's run ended as the match finished in a 3–1 loss after extra time.

On 15 December 2018, Lolos, along with teammate Aaron Goulty, was substituted off ill in an EFL Youth Alliance match against Portsmouth, which was being played in torrential conditions. The match was later postponed, after just 57 minutes had been played.

Senior career

He first featured in a professional squad for Argyle in a 5–2 EFL League One defeat to Gillingham on 5 May 2018, where he appeared on the substitutes bench but did not come on.

He signed a professional contract ahead of the 2019–20 season. Lolos made his professional debut as a substitute in Argyle's 1–0 away defeat to Newport County on 17 August 2019.

Loan to Dorchester

In November 2019, Lolos joined Dorchester Town, of the Southern League Premier South on a two-month loan deal. He went on to play nine games for the Magpies, scoring four goals.

Having previously been invited on international training camps, on 12 February 2019 Lolos scored his first goal for the Greece U19 team, in a 2–0 friendly win against Romania.
