Harry Panayiotou

Barrow Following a trial at Carlisle United, Panayiotou cut short a trial at Borussia Dortmund's under-23 team to sign a two-year contract with National League side Barrow in September 2016; "Bluebirds" manager Paul Cox said that "he had offers from Yeovil and Coventry and even from Salt Lake City in America, but he wanted to play here for us". He made his debut for Barrow in an FA Trophy replay against Harrogate Town on 13 December 2016. On 23 March 2017, he joined National League North side Salford City on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season. He played three games for the "Ammies".

Back with Barrow for the 2017–18 season he chose to turn down his country to help Adrian Pennock's side battle against relegation. The battle proved successful as Barrow finished one place and one point above the relegation zone.

Nuneaton Borough On 25 June 2018, Panayiotou signed with National League North side Nuneaton Borough in a move that reunited him with former Leicester City youth coach Nicky Eaden. He made 20 appearances for "Boro" in the first half of the 2018–19 season, before he departed Liberty Way on 23 January 2019.

Aittitos Spata In January 2019, Panayiotou signed for Greek Football League side Aittitos Spata. The "Invincible" were relegated at the end of the 2018–19 season after being expelled for financial problems.

Aldershot Town On 12 July 2019, Panayiotou joined National League side Aldershot Town after a successful trial spell. He scored four goals in 30 appearances for the "Shots" in the 2019–20 season, which was permanently suspended on 26 March due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, with Aldershot in 16th-place. He scored 12 goals from 37 appearances in the 2020–21 season, finishing as the "Shots" joint-top goalscorer.

Livingston On 12 August 2021, Panayiotou signed a two-year deal with an option for a third year with Scottish Premiership club Livingston. He made his debut at the Almondvale Stadium in the Scottish League Cup on 14 August, coming on as a 67th-minute substitute only to be substituted himself eleven minutes later in what ended as a 1–1 draw with St Mirren; manager David Martindale said after the game that it was a mistake to play Panayiotou as he was not fit. He made his Premiership debut in a 0–0 draw with Celtic on 30 October. He made just four substitute appearances in the league for the "Lions" and his contract was mutually terminated in January 2022. Panayiotou said there was a "toxic" environment at the club.

Return to Aldershot On 5 January 2022, Panayiotou returned to Aldershot Town on a free transfer, signing an 18-month deal. He said it was a "no-brainer" to return to the Recreation Ground and said manager Mark Molesley had "amazing" tactical awareness and knowledge. This deal was then extended until the end of the season. He featured 17 times for Aldershot and six times for Maidenhead during the 2022–23 season, with both clubs successfully avoiding relegation.

Later career After a spell playing in Gibraltar for Bruno's Magpies, Panayiotou joined Maltese Premier League side Sirens in January 2024, making his debut in a defeat to Valletta. He scored one goal from 13 games in the 2023–24 season. He said he was "here to win trophies". He played two games in the remainder of the 2024–25 season. Morecambe were relegated at the end of the 2025–26 season, and he was released upon the expiry of his contract.

International career On 8 October 2014, Panayiotou scored on his debut for Saint Kitts and Nevis in their Caribbean Cup qualifying defeat to Barbados at Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

On 26 March 2015, he scored a hat-trick beginning with a penalty in the second leg of a World Cup first qualifying round tie against the Turks and Caicos Islands at the TCIFA National Academy in Providenciales; Saint Kitts and Nevis won the match 6–2 for a 12–4 aggregate victory. On 26 March 2016, he scored in a 2–0 win over Aruba which secured passage into the second round of qualification for the 2017 Caribbean Cup. This also meant he broke an 85-year Leicester City club record previously held by England's Ernie Hine – the Foxes' all-time leading goalscorer at international level. On 30 March 2026, he scored in a 4–2 win over the Solomon Islands in the third place play-off match of the 2026 FIFA Series.
