Konstantinos "Kostas" Doumtsios (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος "Κώστας" Δούμτσιος; born 20 September 1997) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a striker for Liga II club Chindia Târgoviște, on loan from Liga I club Petrolul Ploiești.[2]

Career

Doumtsios hails from Ano Poroia, Serres.[3] He began his football career in the youth system of Serres, making his debut for the first team on 15 February 2015 in a second-tier Football League match against Lamia, which ended in a 2–0 defeat.[4] During his time at Serres, he trialled with Belgian club Genk.[5] At the end of the season, he was signed by Iraklis. However, he made no official appearances for the team over the following two years.[1]

Between 2017 and 2019, he played in the second division for Panserraikos, Aiginiakos, and Doxa Drama.[5] In 2019, he joined Panionios, making his debut in the Super League Greece on 25 August 2019 in a match against Volos, which ended in a 2–1 defeat.[6] His debut top-tier season included 15 appearances and one goal across league and cup competitions.[2] Following the club's insolvency,[7] he moved on a free transfer to Karaiskakis in September 2020.[8] In July 2021, Levadiakos signed him on a two-year contract, and the club won the Super League 2 championship at the end of the 2021–22 season.[9][10]

On 3 August 2023, Doumtsios signed a one-year contract with an option for an additional year with Dutch Eerste Divisie club TOP Oss. He expressed his joy about his move to Dutch football: "Dutch football has appealed to me as a fan of the sport from a very young age. The ambition to play in the Netherlands followed shortly thereafter. I've worked hard towards taking this step."[11][12] He scored six goals in 37 appearances for the club.[2] His performances earned him a move to VVV-Venlo on 26 June 2024, where he signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional season.[13] Upon signing, he cited fellow Greek and former Eredivisie top goalscorer for VVV, Giorgos Giakoumakis, as an inspiration.[13][14]

On 3 February 2025, Doumtsios signed a one-and-a-half-season deal with Den Bosch.[15]

In the summer of 2025, Doumtsios joined Romanian club Petrolul Ploieşti on a two-year contract.[16] During the winter break, he was loaned to Liga II side Chindia Târgovişte.[17]

Style of play

Doumtsios has been described as a "physically strong" striker who plays with high energy and intensity.[12]

Personal life

Doumtsios grew up as a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and is a supporter of Real Madrid.[5]
