Stavrinou started his career in the Charlton Athletic Youth Academy from the age of 13,[3] rising through into the Reserves.[2] In the 2008–09 season, he made 23 appearances for the under-18 team scoring once, and a further 12 appearances in the reserves.[2] He signed his first professional contract for Charlton Athletic in June 2009.[4 ] Stavrinou made his first-team debut for Charlton in their 1–0 away against Herford United in the League Cup on 11 August.[5] Charlton manager, Phil Parkinson praised Stavrinou saying; "Alex Stavrinou came in for his debut and I thought it was an absolutely terrific performance". [6] Stavrinou signed for Conference National club Ebbsfleet United on a one-month loan in November 2009.[7 ]
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]
As a youth player, Stavrinou played as a centre back, before his under-16 manager Steve Avory converted him into a midfielder.[3]
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]
