Throughout his career, he played a total of 435 matches in all divisions.[1] He was holding a unique record in Greek football, having played in the first division with eight different clubs (Veria, Kavala, OFI, Aris, Ionikos, AEL, Skoda Xanthi and Panserraikos).[2]
Playing career
Born in Pella, Digozis started his professional career with Apollon Kalamarias in 1994, going on to play for two more teams in the following five years, until reaching the top division with OFI.
He helped OFI finish fourth in his first season, with the subsequent UEFA Cup qualification. In 2002, he moved to Cyprus, representing Olympiakos Nicosia for a brief period of time.
In the 2003 January transfer window, Digozis returned to his country with Aris, being an essential midfield element as his club barely avoided top flight relegation in his first full season. He played for four clubs in the following five years, notably helping AEL win the 2006–07 domestic cup, defeating Panathinaikos at the Panthessaliko Stadium, for the second win in the tournament in the team's history.
In 2009, after suffering relegation from the top division with Panserraikos, 35-year-old Digozis resumed his career in the lower leagues.
