[edit] Club career
[edit] Early career
Efrem began his career as a 15-year old with Arsenal in 2004, and was a regular in their reserve and youth sides. However, he was unable to break into the first team, and so moved to Rangers in May 2007.[1] He soon became a regular in the reserve team and was loaned out to Scottish First Division side Dundee to gain some first team experience on 1 February 2009.[2] Efrem scored on his debut against Livingston a week later.[3] He was released on 1 June 2009 by Rangers and signed with AC Omonia.[4]
[edit] AC Omonoia
Efrem had an excellent start with his new club in 2009-2010 after helping lead Omonoia to its 20th Cypriot championship. In that same year, Cyprus Football Association awarded Efrem with the Best Youth Player Award for the 2009-2010 season.
[edit] International career
He has represented Cyprus at youth level and captained the Cyprus under-21 team. In March 2009 he was called up to the full Cyprus squad. In September 2009 he made his first two appearances for the Cyprus first team squad.
