Andre Schembri signs for Cypriot club AC Omonia.

Malta international striker Andre Schembri has signed a two-year contract with Cypriot club AC Omonia.

Schembri finalised the deal this morning after successfully completing a medical test in Nicosia where AC Omonia are based.

After turning down a number of club offers in Europe, especially from Greece where Schembri played last season, AC Omonia offered a two-year deal to the Maltese International.

Schembri put pen to paper this morning and was officially presented to the media in Cyprus. The interest in the player started during his stay in Greece while he played for Panionios.

Andre Schembri explained that this was one of the busiest summers in his career dealing with many offers and finally deciding to choose "this prestigious club from the Cypriot first division."

He added "I had to choose wisely, I had no hurry but pressure sometimes didn't help."

After signing his new contract, Schembri said he was delighted and looking forward to his first training session with his new teammates.

This is Schembri's sixth foreign club in his career after playing with Eintracht Braunshweig (Germany), Carl Zeis Jena (Germany), Austria Karnten (Austria), Ferencvaros (Hungary), Olympiakos Volos (Greece) and Panionios (Greece).   

For the past 60 years AC Omonia have played in the Cypriot first division winning 20 League Championships, 14 Cypriot Cups and 16 Super Cups.

The club is one of the main clubs in Nicosia and their main rivals are Apoel Nicosia. The club placed third last season and played in the Europa League qualifiers, loosing 6-5 on penalties in the third round against Serbia's FK Crvena Zvezda.

The Cypriot first division kicks off on Saturday 1 September and Schembri should make his first appearance with AC Omonia on Sunday 2 September against Ayia Napa FC.
