Having come through Anorthosis' academy, Panayiotou was promoted to their first team in April 2019. In July of the same year, he joined Omonia on a three-year contract,[1][2] which he would later renew for another three years.[3]
On 6 October 2022, Panayiotou scored his first goal for Omonia, in a 2–3 home defeat to Manchester United, in the Europa League. This made him Omonia's 101st player to score in a European competition, setting a new record for a Cypriot club's number of European scorers.[4]
