Club career
Born in Larissa, Greece, Froxylias began his early career in 2005, aged 12, at Toxotis Larissa's youth team. He continued in APOEL and in July 2007, he moved to AEK Athens youth academy after Toni Savevski's recommendation.
In October 2009, he was selected by coach Dušan Bajević to begin training with AEK's first squad. In January 2010, at the age of sixteen, he signed a three-year contract with AEK. Froxylias made his first appearance for the club, as a substitute for Panagiotis Lagos, during a match for the UEFA Europa League with R.S.C. Anderlecht on 4 November 2010, becoming youngest player ever to wear the club's shirt in a European club football match, at the age of seventeen.
He signed for Scottish Championship side Dumbarton on deadline day, 2017, scoring an extra-time free-kick winner on his debut against Connah's Quay Nomads. He followed that up by scoring another late winner on his home league debut, this time against Brechin City on 16 September 2017. He gained Godlike status in Dumbarton when he scored in a 2-1 win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in his fourth game for Scotland's original champions.
Personal
Froxylias holds passports from both Greece and Cyprus, since his mother originates from Cypriot village Agios Epifanios. He decided to join the Cypriot national team.
