During these 2 years, Nini became an integral part of Panathinaikos FC Youth Squad and his coaches believe him to be the next promising talent of Greek football. As a result, on December 22 the club directors offered him a 5 year contract and just 2 weeks after that day, in January 7 2007, Panathinaikos coach Victor Muñoz selected him in the main squad for the match against Aigaleo FC in Olympic Stadium (1-0 for Panathinaikos). His outstanding performance earned him the title of the Superleague Matchday MVP and he immediately became the hottest name in every Greek football quarter. He became the second youngest player ever to wear the club's shirt in a league match, at the age of sixteen (the first was Kostas Antoniou -15 years old- in 1978).
On January 27, 2007 Ninis became the youngest Greek player to score in the history of the Professional Greek League at the age of 16 years, 8 months and 17 days.
