On 7 August 2009 he was signed by the Newcastle Jets.[7] He was given a shock starting berth for the Jets opening game of the 2009–2010 season, given that he had not made any senior A-League appearances previously, and had only been signed the day before the game.[8] On 26 July 2010 Triantis made his first appearance for English club Oxford United as a trialist. He played against Brackley Town and lost 1–0 with the team.
