Return to Enosis Neon Paralimni
On July 31, 2011 Roushias returned to Cyprus for a transfer to Enosis Neon Paralimni. This time he was ready to take more chances, and prove that he was able to play for Enosis. Having 18 appearances and scoring 2 goals in 2011-2012 season Roushias showed that he could be considered one of the great talents on the island. In the 2012-2013 season, Roushias was apparently sidelined by Enosis manager Ton Caanen, having only 8 appearances (7 as a substitution), something that made him to ask for a free transfer. So Roushias left EN Paralimni on 28 December 2012.
