[6] Stavrinou signed for Conference National club Ebbsfleet United on a one-month loan in November 2009.[7 ]

International career

Although born in England, Stavrinou has represented Cyprus under-17, qualifying through his father's Cypriot heritage.[2][3] Stravrinou has also been approached to feature for Cyprus under-21, but stated that he'd like to concentrate on his career with Charlton Athletic. He said; "They've spoken to my parents about possibly featuring for the U21s but as I've only got a year here I really need to be pushing on and focusing all my efforts on Charlton."[3]

Style of play

As a youth player, Stavrinou played as a centre back, before his under-16 manager Steve Avory converted him into a midfielder.[3]

Personal life

Stavrinou was born in Harlow, Essex and attended St Bonaventure's Catholic Comprehensive School in Forest Gate.[2] He is of Cypriot heritage.[2][3]
