Club career
Early career
Before leaving Greece, Lolos was in the youth academy of Olympiacos.[4] He had trials with Brentford, Reading, Norwich City and Liverpool before he joined Crystal Palace's academy in 2015.[3][4]
Plymouth Argyle
Lolos joined Plymouth Argyle in 2017 on a youth apprenticeship, having previously been at Crystal Palace. He was scouted by Argyle academy director Kevin Hodges whilst he was on trial at Birmingham City.[citation needed] He was part of the Argyle Youth team who performed well in the 2017–18 FA Youth Cup, notably beating Manchester City on penalties in the third round. Lolos opened the scoring in the fifth round against Fulham, but that was where Argyle's run ended as the match finished in a 3–1 loss after extra time.[5]
On 15 December 2018, Lolos, along with teammate Aaron Goulty, was substituted off ill in an EFL Youth Alliance match against Portsmouth, which was being played in torrential conditions. The match was later postponed, after just 57 minutes had been played.[6]
He first featured in a professional squad for Argyle in a 5–2 EFL League One defeat to Gillingham on 5 May 2018, where he appeared on the substitutes bench but did not come on.[7]
In November 2019, Lolos joined Dorchester Town, of the Southern League Premier South on a two-month loan deal. He went on to play nine games for the Magpies, scoring four goals.[8]
He signed a professional contract ahead of the 2019–20 season.[9][10] Lolos made his professional debut as a substitute in Argyle's 1–0 away defeat to Newport County on 17 August 2019.[11] On 8 September 2020 he scored his first goal for Plymouth in an EFL Trophy tie against Norwich City U21s.[12]
On 11 December 2020, Lolos joined Chippenham Town on a one-month loan, alongside fellow Argyle youngster Ryan Law.[13] He was sent off in his first and only game for the club and the loan was not extended.
Lolos was released by Plymouth Argyle at the end of the 2020-21 season after making eight substitute appearances without scoring in League One and two starts in the Papa John's EFL Trophy where he scored one goal against Norwich City U21s.[14]
