Club career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Chanti was born in Pyrgos, Elis to a Jordanian father and a Greek mother.[3] He started playing youth football in Paniliakos of his hometown, before moving to Athens to attend Juan Ramón Rocha's football academy.[3] He eventually signed his first professional contract abroad, joining Slovak First League side AS Trenčín in 2008. He played in 11 matches of the Slovak Corgoň Liga during his debut season, and followed the club to the Slovak First League after its relegation at the end of the 2007–08 season. He then returned to his country of birth Greece in January 2010, and joined Gamma Ethniki side Olympiakos Chersonissos, signing a 6-month contract.[3]

Ergotelis

[edit]

After impressing with his performances in the Gamma Ethniki, Chanti signed a 5-year contract with Super League side Ergotelis in 2010.[4] He spent the next two season struggling to establish himself as a starter, but eventually solidified his place at the club's starting lineup during Ergotelis' short stay in the Football League during the 2012–13 season. In total, he made 34 league appearances and scored 4 goals, thus greatly contributing to the club's 2nd-place finish and swift return to the Superleague. Chanti played for the Cretans in top-flight for two more seasons, and was appointed vice-captain of the team during his final season. In the summer transfer window of 2015, after Ergotelis was again relegated to the Football League, Chanti decided to move on.[5] During his 5-year tenure with the club, Chanti summed up a total of 102 appearances and scored 11 goals in all competitions.

Iraklis

[edit]

In June 2015, Chanti signed a two-year contract with the newly promoted Superleague club Iraklis.[6] However, as he was not gaining enough playing time, Chanti was released from his contract with Iraklis in January 2016.

OFI

[edit]

After leaving Iraklis, Chanti returned to Crete, signing with ex-Superleage side OFI in the Gamma Ethniki, the third tier of the Greek football league system.[7] He contributed to the club's dynamic comeback to win the Group 4 championship with 4 goals in 14 appearances, and became a regular starter during the club's next two seasons in the Football League. His performances with OFI did not go unnoticed and in December 2017 he received his first call-up by the Jordanian national football team.[8] However, as the club came to know financial instability at the end of 2017, Chanti freed himself from his contract in January 2018, when he filed a claim against the club for several months of unpaid wages.[9]

Aris

[edit]

On 29 January 2018, Chanti signed a contract with fellow Football League title contenders Aris until the end of the season.[10] On 12 March 2018 he scored his first goal with a beautiful free-kick in a 3–0 home win against his former club Ergotelis.[11]

Aittitos Spata

[edit]

On 10 September 2018, he signed a contract with newly promoted side Aittitos Spata on a free transfer.[12]

Luftëtari Gjirokastër

[edit]

Chanti moved to Albania and signed with Luftëtari Gjirokastër on 24 January 2019.[13]

International career
