Career
Born in Tripoli, Tasoulis began his football career with local side Asteras Tripoli, youth teams. In the summer of 2010 he transferred to Athinaikos, playing for a single period.
He moved to Fostiras in 2011. In his first year in Fostiras he contributed to win the championship of the 8th Group in Delta Ethniki, which led to the renewal of his contract for another year. Continuing his excellent performances with the club in Gamma Ethniki, signed a new two-year contract as a personal choice of the coach of the club Jacky Mathijssen. During the period 2013/14 he made the best year with the club, while scoring the winning goal in the delays of the last game that led the club to the playoffs for the rise in the Super League.
In 2014 Panionios announced the agreement with the player for three years. On 25 August 2014 he made his debut with the club, playing for first time in Super League in a 2-1 home win against Ergotelis. His remarkable season, except his first call in the Greek national team was the cause that the left back is very high in the transcriptional list of many clubs including AEK. On 11 December 2016, he scored his first goal with the club, in a 1-0 home win against Kerkyra.
On 7 Juy 2017, French Ligue 2 club RC Lens asked the Greek player on a long season loan basis from Panionios, and they intend to put a purchase option on the contract. The French club was among the favourites after a struggling season in order to be promoted to Ligue 1. Panionios earned €200,000 as a rent fee for the 26-year-old defensive, and the market clause set for next summer is expected to be around €300,000. It is noteworthy that Tassoulis's existing contract with Panionios was completed in the summer of 2018. However, before signed with RC Lens, he signed a new contract with Panionios ended in 2019, since otherwise the Greek left back would be free to negotiate the next step in his career as his own.
