He won the 2021 cup by competing in all the matches on the way to the title.

On 18 June 2023, Anorthosis announced that in the context of the decision to reduce the average age of the roster and at the same time to give more opportunities to young footballers, it was decided not to propose a contract renewal to the Christofi. He has been offered to take another position in the team but he said no as he doesn't want to stop playing football yet, however the 34-year-old Christofi left the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium after 91 appearances and 10 goals.
