Nottingham Forest[]

On 14 August 2013, Demetriou was given a two-year professional contract at the City Ground.

Later that season, he would receive his first international cap for Cyprus U21 in the U21 European Qualifiers.

After continuing with a run of goals in the U21 league, Demetriou was offered an extension on his contract amidst other English clubs wanting his signature.[1]

Swansea City[]

On 28 June 2014, Demetriou joined Swansea City FC on another two-year professional contract.[2] There, he was charged with multiple purported betting offences[3] and was fined £700 by the Football Association.[4]

In 2015, Demetriou helped the reserves to the U21 Premier League Title.

On 14 March 2016 Demetriou joined Conference South side Wealdstone FC on an end-of-season loan to aid the side to safety.[5]

Karmiotissa[]

In September 2016, Demetriou completed a transfer to Cypriot First Division side Karmiotissa. He appeared on the bench three times for the club before making his debut in the Cypriot Cup against AEK Larnaca on 18 January 2017; he played forty-four minutes in a 1–6 defeat.[6]

Welsh Premier League[]

On 6 October 2017, Demetriou joined Welsh Premier League side Bangor City.[7] He made his debut the following day as a substitute, scoring the only goal of the game in a 1–0 victory over Bala Town.[8]

On 30 January 2018, Demetriou joined fellow Welsh Premier League side Barry Town United and scored a hat-trick vs Llandudno after coming on for an injured teammate in the first half.[9]

In June 2018 he returned to Sydney Olympic.[10]
