Torosidis made his senior debut for Skoda Xanthi on 19 April 2003 at the age of 17. He impressed during his four and a half years there and attracted interest from the Greek 'big three', namely Olympiacos, AEK Athens and Panathinaikos. He joined Olympiacos on 1 January 2007 on a five-year deal.

He became the Greece national side's first choice left-back following the retirement of Takis Fyssas. He was selected for the squad for Euro 2008 and scored his first international goal in a 2010 World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg.
