Career

edit

Avisidris is a protege of Ironi Kiryat Shmona youth ranks and in 2008 he became a permanent player in the senior team. As part of the senior team, he scored the winning goal for Kiryat Shmona in the 2011 Toto Cup final, the first major trophy of the club. However, Avisidris' involvement in criminal activities, which included a conviction in drug offences,[3][4] sent the player to loan periods in Hapoel Ra'anana, Bnei Yehuda, Hapoel Ramat Gan and Hapoel Asi Gilboa.[5]

In September 2013, Avisidris was transferred from Kiryat Shmona to Maccabi Umm al-Fahm. However, the troubled team, which was included in Liga Leumit in the last moment and had to field its youth team for league matches,[6] couldn't keep the player, and transferred him to Liga Alef club, F.C. Karmiel Safed. However, as Avisidris didn't fit in the club, he was loaned to Liga Gimel club, Hapoel Ironi Safed, with which Avisidris won the Upper Galilee division and was promoted to Liga Bet. The loan became a permanent transfer at the end of the season.

At the beginning of the 2015–16 season, Avisidris returned to the second division, as he was loaned to Hapoel Rishon LeZion.[7]

On 20 June 2016 signed to the Israeli Premier League club Beitar Jerusalem.
