He made his official debut in a home win against Panetolikos, which ended as a 1–0 win, on 20 August 2022.^[3] In his first competitive season with the club, Koulierakis managed to gain a position in the starting line-up, making 31 appearances in all competitions, attracting interest from big European teams, including Fiorentina.^[4]

On 14 March 2024, he scored a brace in a home match against Dinamo Zagreb along with one assist securing a 5–1 win (5–3 on aggregate) and qualification to the Quarter-Finals of UEFA Europa Conference League 2023–24. He was declared man of the match.
