Onisiforos Roushias (Template:Lang-el; born on 15 July 1992 in Paralimni, Cyprus) is a Cypriot footballer who plays for Omonia in the Cypriot First Division.

Club career

Enosis Neon Paralimni

Born in Paralimni, he began playing football with other children his age for Enosis Neon Paralimni Academy. He was the best goal-scorer for Cyprus National Under 17 league, scoring 26 goals and winning the League with EN Paralimni U-17 team.

Roushias stayed there for 2,5 years making appearances for Middlesbrough Reserves and Middlesbrough Under 18 team. At Middlesbrough he improved his skills and prepared ready for a career in a Cypriot First Division team.

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.

Omonia Nicosia

Just a few days after Roushias left Enosis Neon Paralimni, Omonia showed their interest in him. So, on 1 January 2013, Roushias signed a 2.5 years contract with Omonia.
