Club career

Ergotelis

Bruno Chalkiadakis arrived in Greece at the age of 16, when he was spotted by Ergotelis scouters in Brazil. Considering him to be a strong prospect for the men's team, the club quickly arranged for his legal adoption by the club-affiliated Chalkiadakis family, which earned him Greek citizenship.[1] He initially played with the youth team of Ergotelis, and signed his first professional contract with the club on 24 May 2011.[2] He made his debut as a substitute on 11 December 2011, in a home match against club rival OFI.[3]
Bruno renewed his contract with the club on 21 August 2014, after a short-term dispute which temporarily placed him out of the team[4] and had since been a regular starter. Despite Ergotelis' relegation at the end of the season, he impressed with his skills, having scored 5 goals in a total of 29 season appearances for the club. He scored his first goal in a 4-1 away win against Niki Volos on 21 September 2014.[5]

Panionios

Panionios finished in fifth place and would have qualified for the Europa League second qualifying round, but they were eventually excluded from participating in the 2016–17 European competitions by UEFA for financial reasons.
