West Ham United [edit]
Ephraim joined West Ham as a trainee in July 2004 making one substitute appearance for the Hammers first team during the 2005–06 season in the League Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday in September 2005[2] and was an unused substitute in the club's 0–3 loss to Italian side Palermo in the 2nd leg of the Uefa Cup 1st round a year later.[3] He joined Championship side Colchester United on a one-month loan in November 2006, saying, "I've played youth football for three years now and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the Championship. A few clubs were interested but with Colchester being a team on the up, this was my first choice."[4] He extended his loan spell for a further month in December and again in January 2007 until the end of the season.[5][6] He made 21 appearances for Colchester, scoring one goal.[7] In the 2007/08 season, he joined Queens Park Rangers on a three-month loan in August 2007.[8] QPR manager John Gregory described him as "...technically very gifted and has the versatility to play on the right or left of midfield."[8] He returned to West Ham in November 2007, having made 13 league appearances for QPR, scoring two goals.[7]
Queens Park Rangers [edit]
He joined Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee on 2 January 2008, signing a three and a half year contract.[9] Ephraim said of the move, "It's a great time to be at QPR. Big things are going to happen here – the new owners are very ambitious."[9]
