Club career After playing college soccer for the University of New Haven, Serioux started his pro career with the Toronto Lynx in the A-League. After the 2002 A-League season came to a conclusion he was loaned to the Mississauga Olympians of the Canadian Professional Soccer League. He made his debut on September 11, 2002, in an Open Canada Cup match against the Toronto Croatia in a 1–1 draw. He would record his first goal for the club on October 4, 2002, in a 4–3 victory over Vaughan Sun Devils. Serioux helped the Olympians secure a playoff berth by finishing second in the Western Conference, but unfortunately were defeated by the North York Astros in a wild card match, where he failed to show up for the match. He then moved to England to join Millwall. Serioux is known to have one of the longest throws in the sport, once setting up a goal against Leicester City, from a throw-in at the halfway line.
