Career
He is a product of APOEL's youth academies[1] and was once considered a "young ace" of the club.[2] He was first sent on loan to ENTHOI Lakatamia FC in the 2005–2006 season, but he returned to APOEL for the 2006–07 season, where he became champion for first time in his career. He was sent on loan again to Digenis Akritas Morphou in the 2007–2008 season. In June 2008 he returned to APOEL and was part of the squad that was crowned Champions. In January 2010, he was sent for third time on loan to Olympiakos Nicosia for six months, and contributed to the team's promotion to the First Division. He returned to APOEL for the 2010–11 season, but suffered a torn cruciate ligament in the first practice of the season, and had very limited opportunities to play. His contrast was not renewed in 2011, after 9 years at APOEL.[2]
In July 2011, he signed a one-year contract with the Cypriot First Division club Anagennisi Dherynia.
On 20 June 2012, Kyriakou signed a contract with AEK Larnaca, after reportedly having been targeted by the club for a "long time".[3] He did not "catch on" at the club despite the initial expectations, and was therefore loaned out to Ethnikos Achna in 2013.[4]
