Papafotis is a product of APOEL Academies. He signed his first professional contract with APOEL on 3 December 2013[1] and made his official debut on 19 December 2013, playing for 60 minutes in a Cypriot Cup match against Digenis Oroklinis.[2] Three days later, on 22 December 2013, he made his league debut, coming on as a substitute in APOEL's 3–0 away win against Enosis Neon Paralimni.[3]

During his first two seasons at APOEL, Papafotis celebrated two consecutive doubles, as the club won both the 2013–14 and 2014–15 season's championship and cup.[4] After the end of the 2015–16 season, in which he crowned champion for a third time in the row, Papafotis signed a new two-year contract extension with APOEL.[5]
