a starting position, and was returned to Paok only to be immediately loaned to Western Sydney Wanderers FC for the remainder of the 2016–17 A-League season. He made his debut for the Wanderers in an away match against the Brisbane Roar on 28 January 2017 as a 77th minute substitute for Mitch Nichols. VVV-Venlo After his short-lived loan spell with the Wanderers, PAOK made it clear to Antonis that he wasn't in their plans. On 8 July 2017, it was announced that Antonis had signed with Dutch Eredivisie side VVV-Venlo on a two-year deal. Melbourne Victory Released by VVV-Venlo on 3 January 2018 without having made a single league appearance for the club, Antonis then signed a 2.5-year contract with Melbourne Victory of the A-League where he made 40 appearances before moving on yet again, to Suwon Samsung Bluewings of the K-League. Return to Western Sydney Wanderers On 25 July 2021, Antonis signed a three-year deal with the Western Sydney Wanderers. His first season he often alternated between starting and coming off the bench. Following the replacement of coach Carl Robinson with Marko Rudan, Antonis was frozen out by club leadership in an effort to force him to agree to leave the club which would free up salary cap room & his squad position. International career Antonis was part of the final squad for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup but he did not get any actual game time during the tournament. On 23 December 2015, Antonis was included to Australia U-23 national team manager's Aurelio Vidmar selections for Olympic Games 2016 qualifiers, which took place in Doha.
