Kevin Zefi (born 11 February 2005) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a winger for the under-19 team of Serie A club Roma.
Zefi was born in Dublin and grew up in the Clonsilla area.[1] He attended Luttrellstown Community College.[1] He is of Albanian descent.[2]
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.[3] [4]
He began his senior career with Shamrock Rovers II in the League of Ireland First Division in the 2020 season, becoming the youngest ever scorer in the League of Ireland, at the age of 15 years 206 days.[5] [6] 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.[7]
He moved to Italian club Inter Milan in August 2021.[8] [9] In December 2021 he scored a hat-trick for Inter's youth team.[10] [11]
In February 2022 he spoke positively about his move to Italy, encouraging other young Irish players to do the same.[12]
In January 2024, Zefi joined fellow Italian club Roma on a permanent deal.[13] [14]
Zefi has played for the Republic of Ireland at under-15, under-17 and under-19 level.[15] In November 2024, he received his first call up to the Republic of Ireland U21 squad for their two friendlies against Sweden U21 in Marbella, Spain.[16]
