[edit]

On 31 July 2011, Roushias returned to Cyprus for a transfer to Enosis Neon Paralimni. This time he was ready to take more chances, and prove that he was able to play for Enosis. Having 18 appearances and scoring two goals in 2011–2012 season, Roushias showed that he could be considered one of the great talents on the island. In the 2012–2013 season, Roushias was apparently sidelined by Enosis manager Ton Caanen, having only eight appearances (seven as a substitution), something that made him to ask for a free transfer. So Roushias left EN Paralimni on 28 December 2012.
