Career

Domatas began his football career in the youth teams of his local side Ergotelis and signed his first professional contract with the club, on 24 May 2012.{{cite web | url=http://www.onsports.gr/Podosfairo/Super-League/item/216042-Ergotelis-Epaggelmaties-oi-Protogerakis,-Kozoronis-kai-Domatas | title=Εργοτέλης: Επαγγελματίες οι Πρωτογεράκης, Κοζορώνης και Δωματάς | publisher=Onsports.gr | date=24 May 2012 | author=Onsports Team|language=el}} He scored his first goal on 24 October 2012, during a Cup match against Aiginiakos.{{cite web | url=http://www.ergotelis.gr/gr/anakoinoseis/apokleismos-apo-ti-synexeia-toy-kypelloy-4256 | title=ΑΠΟΚΛΕΙΣΜΟΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΣΥΝΕΧΕΙΑ ΤΟΥ ΚΥΠΕΛΛΟΥ | publisher=Ergotelis FC | date=24 October 2012 | author=Ergotelis FC|language=el}} He would proceed to add another two goals during Ergotelis' 2012–13 Football League season, thus helping his club gain promotion to the Superleague.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}

In the winter transfer period of the 2013–14 season, Domatas was loaned out to Football League side Asteras Magoula.{{cite web | url=http://www.ergotelis.gr/gr/anakoinoseis/daneikos-ston-astera-magoylas-o-domatas-5081 | title=ΔΑΝΕΙΚΟΣ ΣΤΟΝ ΑΣΤΕΡΑ ΜΑΓΟΥΛΑΣ Ο ΔΩΜΑΤΑΣ | publisher=Ergotelis FC | date=30 January 2014 | author=Ergotelis FC|language=el}} He went on to make 7 appearances and score 1 goal before returning to Ergotelis. In the next season, Domatas was loaned out again, this time to local Gamma Ethniki side Giouchtas. His feats with the club did not go unnoticed and after six months, on 13 January 2015 he signed with Football League side Ermionida, after mutually terminating his contract with Ergotelis.{{cite web | url=http://www.onsports.gr/Podosfairo/Football-League/Notios-Omilos/item/457467-AE-Ermionidas-Pire-Domata-apohorise-o-Lazaroy | title=ΑΕ Ερμιονίδας: Πήρε Δωματά, αποχώρησε ο Λαζάρου | publisher=Onsports.gr | date=13 January 2015 | author=Onsports Team|language=el}} In 16 appearances with the club, Domatas scored 2 goals, yet Ermionida was relegated after finishing 4th in the 2014–15 Football League relegation playoffs.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}

On 13 August 2015, Domatas returned to Ergotelis, signing a one-year contract with his former club.{{cite web | url=http://www.ergotelis.gr/gr/anakoinoseis/epestrepse-ston-ergoteli-kai-o-giannis-domatas-5903 | title=Επέστρεψε στον Εργοτέλη και ο Γιάννης Δωματάς | publisher=Ergotelis FC | date=13 August 2015 | author=Ergotelis FC|language=el}} Domatas was one of just 17 players to remain part of the club's roster despite unbearable financial issues during the season, which ultimately forced the club to withdraw from professional competitions in January 2016.{{cite web|publisher=sport24.gr|title=Αποσύρθηκε από τη Football League ο Εργοτέλης (Greek) |url=http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Ergotelis/aposuretai-apo-th-football-league-o-ergotelhs.3867569.html|date=19 January 2016}}

As a free agent after Ergotelis' meltdown, Domatas signed with fellow Football League side Panserraikos,{{cite web|publisher=footballleaguenews.gr|title=Ανακοίνωσε Δωματά (Greek) |url=http://www.footballleaguenews.gr/panserraikos/item/55787-%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%AF%CE%BD%CF%89%CF%83%CE%B5-%CE%B4%CF%89%CE%BC%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%AC.html|date=29 January 2016}} where he stayed until the end of the season. He eventually went on to play for Olympiacos Volos in the Gamma Ethniki, for the 2016−17 season, making a total of 24 appearances and scoring two goals, before signing with Aiginiakos and returning to the Football League.{{cite web|publisher=goalpost.gr|title=Προς Αιγινιακό ο Δωματάς (Greek) |url=https://www.goalpost.gr/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=78679:pros-aiginiako-o-domatas&Itemid=1682|date=16 August 2017}}
