His family origins are from Karvounari Thesprotia a village near Paramythia in Epirus.

He started playing football for Kerkyra.

He joined the first team in 1995, at a time when the latter was competing in the Fourth Division, without getting to play in that season.

Gogolos played 21 Third Division and 2 Cup games during the 1996–97 season and became known as a player.

In 1997, he moved to Kallithea, then a Second Division team.

In his two and a half seasons he would be in the starting lineup in most games.

In 2000 he signed a 4,5 year contract with PAOK.

Then he was moved to Panionios in the First Division.

In January 2002, Gogolos returned to Kallithea and helped the team get promoted to the First Division.

He continued playing there until 2004, when he joined Aris of Thessaloniki.

During the 2007–08 season with Aris, Gogolos was not fielded by his coach for a single league match.

He thus reached consensus with the team for the termination of his contract mid-season Shortly after, Gogolos signed up for PAS Giannena.

His last game with Aris on 29 November 2007 was vs the Wanderers in Bolton, for the UEFA Cup, as a late substitution, where he bore some of the responsibility for the equaliser by Giannakopoulos.

Still, upon his departure after four years with Aris, he was given credit by the press for his commitment, for the helping the team rebound from the Second Division and, finally, for his dignified farewell statement.
