Stathis Aloneftis (born 29 March 1983 in Nicosia, Cyprus) is a Cypriot footballer, currently playing for AC Omonoia. He is an attacking midfielder who tends to play on the left wing. He is highly regarded for his dribbling skills. He started his career with Omonia Nicosia, making his first appearance for the senior squad during the 2000–01 season however his real talent became apparent during 2003–04. His successes with Omonia include the championship and Super Cup (in 2001 and 2003) and the Cypriot Cup in 2005.
He then moved to the Greek side AEL Larissa in 2005 for a transfer fee CYP £136,000.[1] The season 2006–07 was good for Aloneftis and in January 2007 he went on trial to Queens Park Rangers, but nothing else has been confirmed.[2] At the end of the season he played with his team in the Cup final, where he was in the main beginning squad and his team beat 2-1 Panathinaikos FC and won the Cup. He is a regular pick for the Cyprus national football team.
