Career

Aris joined B 1903 as a 5-year-old and played until U17 in B 1903, after which he moved on to F.C. Copenhagen.[https://live-1533-boldklubben-1903.umbraco-proxy.com/klubinfo/nyheder/klubnyheder/superliga-maalmand-glemmer-ikke-roedderne/ Superliga-målmand glemmer ikke rødderne], ive-1533-boldklubben-1903.umbraco-proxy.com, 10 August 2017[https://www.b1903.dk/klubinfo/om-klubben/b1903-ere-paa-kontrakt/ B1903'ere på kontrakt], b1903.dk Here he played for a few seasons before moving to the Danish 1st Division club Akademisk Boldklub as a senior player.[https://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/1-division/ab-henter-maalmand-i-fck AB henter målmand i FCK], tipsbladet.dk, 11 July 2014[https://www.dbold.dk/2014/07/ab-henter-vaporakis-fck/ AB henter Vaporakis i FCK], dbold.dk, 11 July 2014 However, Vaporakis was only used in the cup tournament, as he was a reserve for Jannich Storch.

Ahead of the 2015–16 season, Vaporakis signed with FC Helsingør. He made his debut for the club in the 17th round of the 2015-16 Danish 1st Division against FC Fredericia, as the first goalkeeper, Mikkel Bruhn, had fallen ill.[https://bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vaporakis-overrasket-over-helsingoer-debut Vaporakis overrasket over Helsingør-debut], bold.dk, 16 November 2015 In his first season, Vaporakis made seven appearances. In the 2016–17 season, Vaporakis also made 7 appearances for Helsingør, contributing to their promotion to the 2017-18 Danish Superliga. In May 2017, he signed a 2-year contract extension.[https://bold.dk/fodbold/klubber/fc-helsingoer/nyheder/fc-helsingoer-forlaenger-med-reservekeeperen FC Helsingør forlænger med reservekeeperen], bold.dk, 23 May 2017

In the 2017–18 season, Vaporakis was still behind Bruhn in the queue. Therefore, in April 2018, he was loaned out to Icelandic club Víkingur until the end of October.[https://www.fchelsingor.dk/aris-vaporakis-udlejet-til-islandske-vikingur/ Aris Vaporakis udlejet til Islandske Vikingur], fchelsingor.dk, 26 April 2018 Vaporakis played the first two games in Iceland before an injury and a new competitor put an end to playing time. Therefore, he terminated his loan spell in the summer and returned home to Helsingør, with whom he terminated his contract in August 2018. He then started training with Brønshøj Boldklub.[https://bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/kontraktfri-vaporakis-skal-tale-med-broenshoej Kontraktfri Vaporakis skal tale med Brønshøj], bold.dk, 9 November 2018
