Background
Ephraim was born on 31 March 1988[1] in Archway, London. He attended Highbury Grove School from 1999 to 2004 and currently lives in Highbury, North London.
Club career
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]
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] Ephraim went on to become a regular during Queens Park Rangers' promotion campaign, scoring 3 goals during the 2010 to 2011 season. However, after QPR's promotion to the Premier League, an influx of player's saw Ephraim's first team chances limited and he soon fell down the pecking order. He also scored four goals in a 13–0 pre-season win over Tavistock.[10] On 26 November 2009, Ephraim joined Football League One leaders Leeds United on loan until 1 January 2010.[11] QPR 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.[12] 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 Football League Trophy and scored his first goal for Leeds as well as providing as assist for Neil Kilkenny's goal.[13] On 1 January 2010, he returned to QPR.[14]
On 9 November 2011, Ephraim joined Football League One leaders Charlton Athletic on loan until 3 January 2012.[15] Ephraim signed on loan for Bristol City on 22 March 2012 until the end of the 2011–12 season.[16] Ephraim scored on his debut on 25 March in a 1–1 away draw with Middlesbrough.[17] Ephraim signed with Toronto FC on loan on 27 February 2013.[18] Ephraim made his debut for Toronto on 2 March in a 1–0 away defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[19] On 4 June 2013 Ephraim's loan was terminated by Toronto.[20] On 8 November 2013, Ephraim joined Peterborough United on loan for a month.[21] His Peterborough debut came the next day in a 2–0 home win in the FA Cup against Exeter City.[22] Ephraim returned to QPR in February 2014, having made 11 appearances in all competitions for The Posh.[23]
Ephraim was finally released by QPR on 1 July 2014.[24]
Wycombe Wanderers
On 28 October 2014, Ephraim signed for League Two team, Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer.[25] On 1 November 2014, Ephraim made his debut appearance against Oxford United, as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 away league win. After appearing in the Football League Division 2 play-off Wembley final for Wycombe Wanderers, Ephraim turned down the offer of a new contract with The Chairboys and subsequently left the club.[26]
Whitehawk
After being without a club for the first half of the 2016–2017 season, Ephraim eventually signed for Brighton-based National League South side Whitehawk in March 2017.
International career
Ephraim has represented England at U-16, U-17, U-18 and U-19 levels. He scored four goals in an England under-17s match against Russia[27] and appeared in the UEFA European Championships in May 2005, scoring two goals in three games.[1]
