Club career
Panionios
Makos signed for Panionios in 2000 from Ilioupoli at the age of 13. After impressing in the youth academy he was eventually called up to the senior team in 2003 and made his debut in a game against Proodeftiki on 23 May 2004.[1] Makos scored his first goal for Panionios on 1 October 2005, against Levadiakos.[2] During his time at the club he had become one of Panionios' most important players making over 100 appearances for the club at the young age of 21. He was appointed captain in 2006 at the age of 19. His impressive performances attracted interest from the "big three" of Greece and also from teams abroad.[3] In the end Makos agreed to join AEK Athens.[4]
AEK Athens
On 24 June 2009, Makos signed a 5 year deal with AEK.[5] Soon after signing, Makos stated "One of the main reasons I decided to come here is because of Dusan Bajevic".[6] On July 6, Makos decided to continue using the number 14 at AEK, a number which he has used since his youth career.[7]
On August 20, Makos made his official debut for AEK, in the game versus Vaslui in the Europa League.[8] Makos made his league debut in the 0–1 away win over Atromitos on August 30.[9] An unconvincing pre-season and start to the season seen Makos dropped from the starting 11 to the bench. In his first season at AEK, Makos made a total of 28 appearances, 21 in the league, 1 in the cup, and 6 in Europe.
The 2010–2011 season started well for Makos. He impressed in the away victory against Dundee United for the Europa League play-offs,[10] as well as making good appearances in the pre-season friendlies. Makos continued his fine form throughout the regular season, cementing his place in the AEK first team, and won applause from AEK fans for his passionate tireless displays. In a season mired with disappointing displays for the team, Makos was one of few players who escaped criticism from AEK fans. Overall, his performances were much-improved over his first season at AEK, which was largely deemed as mediocre. The season ended in success as Makos won the 2010-11 Greek Cup. Makos scored his first ever goal for AEK Athens in a 1 - 0 win against Ergotelis.
International career
Greece Under 21
Soon after becoming a regular and captain at Panionios, Makos was called up to the Greece U-21 national squad and was made captain not long after his debut. After 17 appearances for the Under-21 side, he was called up to the senior side by Greece coach Otto Rehhagel.
Greece
Makos was called up to the Greek national team on 1 February 2008 and made his debut on 5 February 2008 in a friendly against Czech Republic,[11] he earned his second cap versus Cyprus on 19 May 2008.[12] On November 9, Makos was called up for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers matches against Ukraine, however Makos did not feature in any of the legs.[13] On February 28, Makos was called up for the World Cup preparation friendly against Senegal, he came on as a second half substitute and made his first appearance for the national team in over a year.[14] On May 11, Makos was named in Rehhagel's 30 man provisional World Cup squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[15]
