Club career
AEK Athens
Pliatsikas began his AEK career in 2005, making his way up from the reserve team, he ended up making 37 league appearances for AEK.
Schalke
On 30 June 2009, Pliatsikas signed a four-year contract with German club Schalke 04 for an undisclosed fee.[1] The beginning of 2010 was not good as Pliatsikas tore his knee ligaments during a training session. This was a major blow as he was beginning to get consistent game time with his club and was in the reckoning for a starting place with his national team. He missed the rest of Schalke's season and also the FIFA World Cup with Greece.
Duisburg
On 1 June 2011, it was announced that Pliatsikas will be loaned to MSV Duisburg for the upcoming season. In 2010–11, he could play only one match for Schalke because of his injury problems and so he should gain playing experiences in the 2. Bundesliga. He made his debut in the opening game against Karlsruhe on 17 August, being in the starting line-up in Duisburg's 2–3 defeat. After several fouls, he was forced to leave the field with a yellow-red card in the 76th minute. In his fourth league match for Duisburg against St. Pauli, he was sent off with a yellow-red card again.
Metalurh Donetsk
Pliatsikas participated in the preparation of the club in Turkey, leaving a positive impression and convinced the technical staff to offer him a contract. Pliatsikas, who had become free since last summer from Schalke 04, signed a contract until the end of the season 2013/14 with an renewal option for three more years.[2]
Astra Giurgiu
On 23 July 2014, Pliatsikas signed a 2-year contract with Astra Giurgiu.[3] On 25 July 2014, he made his debut with a club in a 2-0 away win against Concordia Chiajna. At the end of 2014 he returned to his former club Metalurh Donetsk.
International career
Greece U19
He was part of the Greek squad that reached the final of the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship and went on to captain the U19 team the following year which reached the final eight this time round in the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.[4]
Greece
He made his national team debut on 19 November 2008, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute against Italy in a 1–1 draw.[5]
Greece's manager Otto Rehhagel called Pliatsikas for the three 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Luxembourg, Ukraine and Latvia where he played a pivotal role.[6]
