Zerafa played in the Maltese Premier League with Balzan F.C. between 2015 and 2018.[1] With Balzans, Zerafa was twice Premier League runner-up, in 2016–17 and 2017–18, 2015–16 Maltese FA Trophy finalist, and 2015 winner of Summer Cup.[2]
In May 2018, Zerafa along his Balzan teammate Antonio Mitrev, went on trials to Serbian club FK Inđija.[3] Zerafa passed the trials and signed with Inđija. Zerafa debuted with Inđija in the 2018–19 Serbian First League on September 9, 2018, in a home victory by 4–0 against TSC Bačka Topola.[2] At the end of the season Inđija finished second and achieved promotion to the Serbian SuperLiga, however, in a tough competition to earn playing time, Zerafa managed to make 4 appearances, all as a substitute.[2] At the end of the season he returned to Malta and moved on loan to Maltese newly promoted top-league side St. Lucia F.C.[2]
Since 2016, Zerafa has been a member of Maltese under-19 national team.[2]
