[edit] Background

Ephraim was born on 31 March 1988[1] in Archway, London. He attended Highbury Grove School from the years of 1999–2004 and currently lives in Highbury, North London.

[edit] Club career

[edit] West Ham United

Ephraim joined West Ham as a trainee in July 2004 making one substitute appearance for the Hammers first team during the 2005–06 season in the League Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday in September 2005[2] and was an unused substitute in the club's 0–3 loss to Italian side Palermo in the 2nd leg of the Uefa Cup 1st round a year later.[3] He joined Championship side Colchester United on a one-month loan in November 2006, saying, "I've played youth football for three years now and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the Championship. A few clubs were interested but with Colchester being a team on the up, this was my first choice."[4] He extended his loan spell for a further month in December and again in January 2007 until the end of the season.[5][6] He made 21 appearances for Colchester, scoring one goal.[7] In the 2007/08 season, he joined Queens Park Rangers on a three-month loan in August 2007.[8] QPR manager John Gregory described him as "...technically very gifted and has the versatility to play on the right or left of midfield."[8] He returned to West Ham in November 2007, having made 13 league appearances for QPR, scoring two goals.[7]

[edit] Queens Park Rangers

He joined Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee on 2 January 2008, signing a three and a half year contract.[9] Ephraim said of the move, "It's a great time to be at QPR. Big things are going to happen here – the new owners are very ambitious."[9]

[edit] Leeds United Loan

On 26 November 2009 Ephraim joined Football League One leaders Leeds United on loan until 1 January 2010.[10] Q.P.R. decided to not allow Ephraim to be eligible for Leeds' FA Cup games. On 1 December Ephraim made his Leeds debut in a 2–0 away win against Oldham Athletic.[11] After being limited to substitute appearances against Huddersfield Town and Brentford, Ephraim returned to the starting line-up against Accrington Stanley, on 15 December, in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and scored his first goal for Leeds as well as providing as assist for Neil Kilkenny's goal.[12] Ephraim's one month spell at Leeds saw him playing four games in all competitions scoring one goal.

[edit] Return to Q.P.R

On 1 January 2010 he returned to QPR.[13]

[edit] Charlton Athletic Loan

On 9 November 2011, Ephraim joined Football League One leaders Charlton Athletic on loan until 3 January 2012.[14]
