Mallios started his career at Hefestos Constantinople in 1923. In 1928 he traveled to Greece, where he was transferred to AEK Athens and competed as an expatriate.[1] He was one of the defensive pillars of the club and in 1931 he won the first Greek Cup, that was also the first title of the club, defeating Aris with a score of 5–3.[2]
On 27 September 1933[1] he went to Cyprus to join Enosis Neon Trust for a season, where he was their captain and manager. He won both the first Cypriot Championship[3][4] and the first two Cypriot Cups,[5] being the first team to achieve a domestic double in Cypriot football. He ended his playing career in 1936, at the age of 31.

Mallios played 12 times with the Greece and scored 1 goal, between 1930 and 1933, where he also was their captain at instances.[6][7] His debut took place on 2 March 1930 in an away friendly match against Italy B. On 13 December 1931, he scored his only goal in the blue and white shirt when he opened the score with a well-placed penalty in a home friendly 2–4 defeat against Hungary B.[8] He became the first footballer of AEK Athens to score a goal with the national team.[9]
