Career

Panionios

In June 2014 Panionios and AO Chania came to an agreement for the movement of Chatziisaias to the club based in Athens.[2]

PAOK

On 29 January 2016, PAOK confirmed that Chatziisaias would join the club on 1 February 2016 from Panionios for a club record transfer fee of €1 million, after agreeing terms and signing a 3+1⁄2-year contract. He was presented to the media as a PAOK player on 1 February, where he was handed the number 5 shirt.[3] Chatziisaias made his PAOK debut on 7 February, in a 1–0 away loss against champions Olympiacos. His first goal came a month later with a kick after an assist of Dimitris Pelkas in PAOK's 2–1 away loss against Panthrakikos.[4] On 19 August 2016, PAOK officially announced that the international defender is not in club's plans for the 2016–17 season. On 20 December 2016, Chatziisaias returned to the first team of PAOK immediately, in order to replace experienced international Georgios Tzavellas. Then, there were only stoppers Stelios Malezas, José Ángel Crespo and Fernando Varela in the current squad of the club, so his return was necessary ahead of the upcoming difficult matches in January.[5]

Loan to Atromitos

On 26 June 2017, he signed a long season contract with Atromitos on loan from PAOK.[6] On 30 June 2018, Greek central defender Chatziisaias will finally still be a member of ambitious Atromitos, on loan from PAOK until the end of 2018–19 season. The 26-year-old scored one goal (at 1–0 away victory over Asteras Tripolis in February) at 32 performances in the domestic competitions with the shirt of Austrian manager Damir Canadi's team during 2017–18 season.[7]

Çaykur Rizespor

On 23 July 2019, Çaykur Rizespor announced the signing of Chatziisaias with a transfer fee in the region of €500,000, after the acquisition of Enea Mihaj from Panetolikos. PAOK would keep a resale rate of 20% and would also receive extra bonuses if Rizespor secures a European ticket for the upcoming season. Chatziisaias signed a three-year contract with a contract fee of €1,95 million.[8]

Loan to Cercle Brugge

On 16 January 2020, Cercle Brugge and Çaykur Rizespor reached an agreement regarding the temporary transfer of Chatziisaias. Being on loan until the end of this season, there is a purchase option at the end.[9]

Return to Atromitos

On 2 July 2021, his return to Atromitos was announced, having signed a two-year contract.[10]
