Club career
PAOK
He started his career at AEP Katerini and moved to PAOK in 2003, thus signing his first professional contract. He plays as a centre back, having formerly played as a defensive midfielder. In the 2008–09 season, he gained his place in the starting eleven, making some regular first-team appearances. On 6 February 2009, he signed a new contract with
Fortuna Düsseldorf
Defender Malezas of Greek club PAOK FC, is making the move to Germany for a reported fee of €577,000 (£450,000), with the money being paid in installments over the next 12 months. Malezas was on Monday undergoing a medical and Fortuna Düsseldorf, who last season won promotion via the play-offs, are then expected to officially announce a three-year contract. General manager Wolf Werner told Express newspaper: "We are about to sign Stelios Malezas from PAOK of Greece."[2]
In December 2013, Malezas was informed that is already named for returning to his former club
The German dream seems to take a fee for Stelios Malezas, who the summer of 2014 will be past for the roster of Fortuna Düsseldorf. He failed to prove his worth to the people of the German club and specifically, the former PAOK defender has only made 10 appearances after half of the season passed. The coach of Fortuna, Lorenz-Günther Köstner believes that the former Thessalonian player can not cope with the demands of the team, so it can be assumed that is almost in exit.[4] Eventually on 23 May 2014 after two years with the club was informed that there was not in the staff's plan for next season. Malezas stated that " Everybody does not like goodbyes, but I must do it. I have no choice".[5][6]
