On 27 September 1933[1] he went to Cyprus to join Enosis Neon Trust for a season, where he was their captain and manager. He won both the first Cypriot Championship[3][4] and the first two Cypriot Cups,[5] helping his team become the first to achieve a domestic double in Cypriot football. He ended his playing career in 1936, at the age of 31.

On 13 December 1931, he scored his only goal in the blue-and-white shirt when he opened the score with a well-placed penalty in a home friendly 2–4 defeat against Hungary B.[8] He became the first footballer of AEK Athens to score a goal with the national team.[9]
