Terry Antonis joins City ahead of 2023/24 season

Melbourne City FC is excited to announce the signing of Australian midfielder, Terry Antonis, for the 2023/24 season.

The 29-year-old brings added experience to City’s squad, having made 144 A-League Men’s appearances across stints with Western Sydney, Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC.

Antonis is also no stranger to the AFC Champions League – which City will compete in for the second time this season – having made 12 appearances in the competition, where he scored two goals and assisted a further four.

He joins Tolgay Arslan and Steven Ugarkovic as key midfield signings ahead of the new campaign, while youngsters Alessandro Lopane, Zane Schreiber and the re-signed Emin Durakovic will also be pressing their claims for minutes in the middle of the park.

Melbourne City FC Director of Football, Michael Petrillo, said:

“Terry is a player highly motivated and driven to get back to playing football to the level he has previously.

“We have done our due diligence and know that he is in excellent physical condition.

“We have seen the quality of Terry’s game in previous seasons; he has a great attacking mindset, excellent technical ability and the physical capacity to become an important part of our midfield.”

Terry Antonis said:

“Melbourne City has been the most successful club in Australia in recent years, so obviously things are going right. When my agent came to me with the move, I saw it as a really exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to working with Rado again.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of a few Champions League campaigns both in Australia and while playing in the K-League, so that’s an opportunity I’m really looking forward to having again.

“I’m hoping I can add some experience to the squad and I’m really excited to play for this great Club alongside some great players.”
