Club career

edit

Angeli had played most of his early career as a youth for Anorthosis Famagusta before the move to Scotland. He was signed by Motherwell in June 2010 after impressing the youth coaches when Motherwell's reserve team played a succession of friendlies in Cyprus. Angeli signed a one-year contract with the option of a further year.[3] He was on the bench for Motherwell's Europa League tie with Breiðablik, although he was an unused substitute in that match.[4] He was released by Motherwell on 1 June 2011 having never played a first team match for the club.[5]

International career

edit

Charalambous has earned four caps for the Cyprus U21 football team, the first of which came against Slovakia in September 2009. He has been a regular starter for the under-21 side ever since.[1]

Personal life

edit

Charalambous was a tank commander in the army prior to his move to Scotland.[6]
