Early career

As a young player, Bochoridis was speculated by some as being a possible comparison to fellow Greek player Dimitris Diamantidis in the future.[2]

Professional career

Bochoridis began his pro career with the Greek League club Aris in 2010. With Aris, he played in the final game of the Greek Cup in 2014. Bochoridis' player rights were then sold to the Greek club Panathinaikos in July 2014, for €350,000 euros.[3]

On 29 July 2014, Panathinaikos announced the signing of Bochoridis to a 5-year deal.[4][5] The first statement of Bochoridis as a player of Panathinaikos, was that he was playing at the highest European level, and that he would do his best for the team.[6] In his first season with Panathinaikos, he won the 2015 edition of the Greek Cup.

On 23 September 2015, he suffered a fractured fibula in a friendly game against Partizan, and he was subsequently ruled out of game action for at least a period of three months time.[7] On 17 January 2016, he returned to action in a Greek League game, in a home win against his former club, Aris, which his team won by a score of 80–59. During the post-game press conference, Bochoridis stated that he was satisfied because of his return, and that he would do his best to help the team.[8] In his second and third seasons with Panathinaikos, he won the 2016 edition and 2017 edition of the Greek Cup. With Panathinaikos, he also won the Greek League 2016–17 season championship.

He returned to Aris in December 2017.[9] On July 28, 2018, Bochoridis renewed his contract with Aris and was named team captain.
