Peter Makrillos (born 4 September 1995) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a central midfielder for Malaysia Super League club Selangor.

Early life

Makrillos was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia to parents of Greek descent. His grandparents migrated to Australia from Kalymnos and Tripoli, Greece in 1965.[2] Raised in Belmore, in Greater Western Sydney, Makrillos played football for APIA Leichhardt, Blacktown City, and Sutherland Sharks.[2] He trialled three months for FC Barcelona in La Masia, after impressing in a youth tournament, and spent six years in the youth section of Premier League club Stoke City until 2014.[2][3]

Club career

Makrillos returned to Australia from England in 2016.[2] He signed for Rockdale City Suns and Sydney Olympic in the National Premier Leagues NSW.[4][5][6]

On 11 January 2018, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Greek Super League club Panionios for an undisclosed fee.[7] He departed the club after one season, recording two assists in 15 games, due to the financial issues at the club.[8] On 18 February 2022, Makrillos joined Danish 1st Division club FC Fredericia on a deal for the rest of the season.[9] On 30 May 2022, the club confirmed that Makrillos was one out five players who would leave the club, as their contracts expired.[10]

On 1 January 2024, Makrillos joined K League 2 club Seoul E-Land FC after departing from Chungbuk Cheongju in the same league.[11]
