Asteras Tripolis

Douvikas made his professional debut on 19 August 2017, in a 2–1 home loss against PAS Giannina, coming in as a substitute.[2] On 26 October, he scored his first professional goal in a 2–1 home win against AO Chania Kissamikos in the 2017–18 Greek Cup.[3] On 26 November, he scored in a 2–0 home win against Levadiakos, thus contributing to the team's third successive win.[4] On 2 December, he scored in a comfortable 4–0 home win against Platanias, helping his team maintain its form.[5]

On 18 December 2018, Douvikas scored in a 4–0 away win against Apollon Paralimnio in the 2018–19 Greek Cup, ending a lengthy drought.[6]

Volos

On 10 August 2020, Douvikas signed with Volos on a free transfer.[7] In his debut, he scored the opener in a 2–0 away win against Atromitos.[8] On 5 October 2020, Douvikas scored a brace, sealing a 2–1 away win against Lamia.[9] On 31 October 2020, he scored in the late stages of a home game against Larissa, salvaging a point for his team with the final 1–1 draw.[10] On 30 November 2020, Douvikas scored a goal and marked his team's comeback in a 3–3 away draw against Apollon Smyrnis, despite going down by three goals early in the second half.[11]

On 17 January 2021, Douvikas scored with a nice volley in a 1–1 home draw against Lamia.[12] The following week, he scored helping to 1–0 away win against PAS Giannina.[13] His excellent goal scoring streak continued in the Greek Cup with goals in away matches against OFI[14] and AEK Athens,[15] before scoring in a 2–1 away win against OFI once again, this time for the league[16] and a 2–0 home win against Apollon Smyrnis.[17]

Utrecht

On 23 April 2021, Utrecht officially announced the signing of the talented striker on a four-year contract for a fee that exceeded €1,000,000.[18] In his first statement as an Utrecht player, Douvikas expressed his happiness for the transfer and his eagerness to meet the fans.[19] On 15 August 2021, Douvikas celebrated his first official goal wearing the Utrecht jersey and scored the 3–0 for his club in the first game of the Eredivisie where the hosts emphatically celebrated the victory with a 4–0 against Sparta Rotterdam.[20] On 19 September 2021, he scored with a penalty kick in a 2–2 home draw game against RKC Waalwijk.[21] A week later he scored again with a penalty kick in a 5–1 home win against PEC Zwolle, a historical goal because he was Utrecht's No. 2,500 in Eredivisie.[22] On 23 January 2022, Douvikas scored after four months for Utrecht, in a 3–0 away win match against Sparta Rotterdam for Eredivisie. The Greek striker last scored on 25 September and since then 28 goalless finals have followed in the league, when he opened the score after Sander van de Streek's assist.[23] On 5 February 2022, he scored a brace after two assists from Mimoun Mahi, and gave an assist to Henk Veerman, helping Utrecht come back from a 2–0 deficit to win 3–2 at home against SC Cambuur. He was voted man of the match for his performance.[24][25] On 28 May 2023 he became top scorer in the Dutch League.
