Club career

Christos Kontis started his career at Ethnikos Piraeus. In Greece he played also for Panionios, Olympiacos and AEK Athens. With Olympiacos he won 2 Greek Championships.

In the summer of 2006 he moved to Cyprus and signed with APOEL. At APOEL he won 3 Championships, 1 Cup and 3 Super Cups. He also appeared in four official 2009–10 UEFA Champions League group stage matches with APOEL.

End of career

After a successful career at APOEL, Christos Kontis was forced to retire due to heart failure problems. During the first official 2011–12 Cypriot First Division match (29/08/2011) between AEK Larnaca and APOEL, Kontis felt a slight discomfort and a pain in his chest. Later that night the discomfort continued to exist and the pain got worse, thus the Club's doctors moved him to Nicosia's General Hospital. It was diagnosed that Kontis had suffered a minor heart attack that had damaged one of the veins in his heart. Consequently, he was forced to retire from his professional football career 9 months before his contract with APOEL expires.

He was one of APOEL's fans' favorite players and he will always be remembered for his passion and for the low profile that he always kept. These virtues earned him the respect and admiration of all Cypriot football fans.

He wore the jersey with the number 24.
