Club career

Sydney FC

Petratos made his debut as a substitute for Sydney FC in their Round 13, 1-0 victory over Newcastle Jets at the Sydney Football Stadium during the 2010-11 season. He played continually since his debut off the bench and was in the starting 11 in some games.[1] He scored his first senior A-League goal against Gold Coast United on 8 January 2011 which set Sydney on their way to a 2-0 victory.[2]

Sydney FC secured him to a new two-year professional contract on 13 January 2011, replacing his youth league contract.[3] Petratos secured his position as one of the brightest up and coming talents for Sydney, when he scored a brace against rivals Central Coast Mariners in a 2-2 draw at Bluetounge Stadium.[4] Following a reported bust-up with Zeljko Kalac, Petratos requested for and was granted a release from Sydney FC, allowing him to pursue a move to Malaysian Super League Champions Kelantan.[5][6]

Kelantan

On 7 December 2012, Petratos made a goalscoring debut for Malaysian side Kelantan in a pre-season friendly against Perlis which ended 5-0.[7] Petratos immediately had a very strong connection and passion with the fans and supporters and in the month of December 2012 continued his goal scoring form, scoring 4 goals in 4 games[8] He then scored another 2 goals against Penang FA on 24 December to take his tally to 6 goals in 5 friendly games.[9]

Foreign player restrictions in the Malaysian Super League meant Petratos played exclusively in the 2013 AFC Cup, where Kelantan were drawn in Group G along with Maziya S&RC, Ayeyawady United and SHB Da Nang. He featured in all 7 matches for Kelantan in the competition, scoring 4 goals as they were knocked out by Kitchee SC at the quarter-final stage.[10]

Brisbane Roar

In June 2013, Petratos was signed by the Roar on a one-year deal, along with former Melbourne Victory defensive midfielder Diogo Ferreira.[11][12][13]

On 26 December 2013, Petratos scored his first career hattrick against his former club Sydney FC. On the 17th of July Petratos scored the opening goal against EPL giants Liverpool.
