Career

edit

Kavousakis started his career with local Heraklion-based Superleague club Ergotelis and signed his first professional contract on 21 February 2008.[1] He remained at the club for 7 seasons mostly as a back-up goalkeeper, making a total of 32 appearances across all competitions.

On 23 July 2015, Kavousakis signed a 3-year contract with Football League side AEL,[2] with whom he celebrated promotion to the Superleague, again mostly as a back-up keeper. After 1,5 years on 28 January 2017, Kavousakis was released from his contract with the club on mutual consent, after the arrival of Kostas Theodoropoulos effectively demoted him to 3rd-choice keeper.[3] One day after his release from AEL, on 29 January 2017, Kavousakis signed a 6-month contract with fellow Superleague side Panetolikos.[4] but left the club at the end of the season having made no official appearances.

In September 2017, Kavousakis signed with Gamma Ethniki side Asteras Amaliada,[5] with whom he had 9 full 90' appearances until relations with the club fell through and he was released in December.[6]

After three years without club, Kavousakis signed with Panserraikos on 26 February 2020.[7] In the summer of 2020, Kavousakis signed a new three-year deal with the club until July 2023, after the club was promoted to the Football League Greece for the 2020-21 season.[8]
