Michael Thalassitis (born 19 January 1993) is an English-born Cypriot footballer who plays for Welling United as a striker.
Thalassitis signed a professional two-year contract with Stevenage in May 2011, having joined the club's Centre of Excellence ahead of the 2010–11 season following Stevenage's promotion to the Football League. He made his first-team debut in August 2011. Two months later, Thalassitis joined Conference South side Boreham Wood on loan, returning to his parent club in January 2012. He was loaned out once again a month later, signing for Hayes & Yeading United on a one-month loan deal. During the 2012–13 season, Thalassitis was briefly loaned out to Cambridge United in September 2012, before joining Bishop's Stortford on loan two months later. He then spent the remainder of the season on loan at Boreham Wood, his second loan spell at the club. Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Thalassitis joined Ebbsfleet United on a season-long loan.
Thalassitis joined Stevenage's youth system ahead of the 2010–11 season. He scored 17 goals in 26 games for the club's U18 side in his first season with the club. As a result of his fine form during the season, he was handed a two-year professional contract with the club on 18 May 2011. This meant that Thalassitis was the first player to sign a professional deal with the club from the Centre of Excellence that was "hastily formed" following the club's promotion to the Football League. Thalassitis made his competitive debut for Stevenage in the club's 1–0 away defeat to Milton Keynes Dons on 27 August 2011, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute in the match. During the game, he produced a "strong run forcing goalkeeper David Martin to tip his effort from the edge of the box onto the bar", as well as missing a chance to restore parity in injury-time.
