Early and personal life

Zefi was born in Dublin and grew up in the Clonsilla area.[1] He attended Luttrellstown Community College.[1] He is of Albanian descent.[3]

Club career

Zefi began his career with Shamrock Rovers. In 2020 he was linked with a transfer away from the club, with Italian club Inter Milan and Dutch club PSV said to be interested.[4][5]

He began his senior career with Shamrock Rovers II in the League of Ireland First Division in the 2020 season,[6] becoming the youngest ever scorer in the League of Ireland, at the age of 15 years 206 days.[7][8] He had also been Shamrock Rovers II's youngest ever player, until that record was beaten by 14-year-old Sam Curtis in October 2020.[9]

He moved to Italian club Inter Milan in August 2021.[10][11] In December 2021 he scored a hat-trick for Inter's youth team.[12][13]

In February 2022 he spoke positively about his move to Italy, encouraging other young Irish players to do the same.[14]

International career

Zefi has played for the Republic of Ireland at under-15, under-17 and under-19 level.[2][15]
