Career edit
Sarakatsanos started his career from A.O. Karditsa before being transferred to Apollon Smyrnis. His good performances there gained him a transfer to Greek giants Panathinaikos, that loaned him firstly to Kerkyra and subsequently to Apollon Kalamarias, before selling him to Iraklis for a 30,000 € fee. On 29 December 2010, Sarakatsanos was released from Iraklis.[1] A few days later, he signed at Trikala, the club of his hometown.[2] From 2011, to 2014 he played for Panthrakikos.
