Panetolikos

Liavas made his debut at the start of the 2018–19 season and became a mainstay in a solid Panetolikos side under Traianos Dellas. At age 17, Liavas became the second youngest Panetolikos player in the Superleague.[1] He can play either right back, left back, and defensive midfield, and became one of Panetolikos’ most prized assets.

Liavas suffered a serious knee injury in January 2021, followed by a similar injury to his other knee, which kept him from playing for over a year. He returned to play regularly for Panetolikos in May 2022.[2]

Style of play
