Dimitrios "Dimitris" Froxylias (Greek: Δημήτρης Φροξυλιάς; born on 28 June 1993 in Larissa, Greece) is a Cypriot football forward who plays for Nea Salamina.

Club career

At the age of 12, in 2005, he began his early career at Toxotis Larissas youth team. He continued in APOEL and in July 2007, he moved to AEK Athens youth academy after Toni Savevski's recommendation.[1]

In October 2009, he was selected by coach Dušan Bajević to begin training with AEK's first squad.[1] In January 2010, at the age of sixteen, he signed a three-year contract with AEK.[2] Froxylias made his first appearance for the club, as a substitute for Panagiotis Lagos, during a match for the UEFA Europa League with R.S.C. Anderlecht on 4 November 2010, becoming youngest player ever to wear the club's shirt in a European club football contest match, at the age of seventeen.[3][4][5]

Personal

Froxylias holds passports from both Greece and Cyprus, since his mother originates from Cypriot village Agios Epifanios. He decided to join the Cypriot national team.[6]
