Angeli signed a one-year contract with the option of a further year.^[3] He was on the bench for Motherwell's Europa League tie with Breiðablik, although he was an unused substitute in that match.^[4] He was released by Motherwell on 1 June 2011 having never played a first team match for the club.^[5]

International career

Charalambous has earned four caps for the Cyprus U21 football team, the first of which came against Slovakia in September 2009. He has been a regular starter for the under-21 side ever since.^[1]
