Dimitrios Petratos (born 10 November 1992) is an Australian professionalsoccer player who plays as aforward forIndian Super League clubMohun Bagan.
Petratos has played for four different A-League clubs, winning one championship withBrisbane Roar. The majority of Petratos's career has been in the A-League. However, he has played inMalaysia,South Korea,Saudi Arabia, before moving toIndia.
Petratos made his debut as a substitute for Sydney FC in their Round 13, 1–0 victory overNewcastle Jets at theSydney Football Stadium during the2010–11 season. He played continually since his debut off the bench and was in the starting 11 in some games.[2] He scored his first senior A-League goal againstGold Coast United on 8 January 2011 which set Sydney on their way to a 2–0 victory.[3]
Sydney FC secured him to a new two-year professional contract on 13 January 2011, replacing his youth league contract.[4] Petratos secured his position as one of the brightest up and coming talents for Sydney, when he scored abrace against rivalsCentral Coast Mariners in a 2–2 draw atBluetounge Stadium.[5] Following a reported bust-up withZeljko Kalac, Petratos requested for and was granted a release from Sydney FC, allowing him to pursue a move to Malaysian Super League Champions Kelantan.[6][7]
On 7 December 2012, Petratos made a goalscoring debut for Malaysian sideKelantan in a pre-season friendly againstPerlis which ended 5–0.[8] 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[9] He then scored another 2 goals againstPenang FA on 24 December to take his tally to 6 goals in 5 friendly games.[10]
Foreign player restrictions in theMalaysian Super League meant Petratos played exclusively in the2013 AFC Cup, where Kelantan were drawn in Group G along withMaziya S&RC,Ayeyawady United andSHB Đà Nẵng. He featured in all 7 matches for Kelantan in the competition, scoring 4 goals as they were knocked out byKitchee SC at the quarter-final stage.[11]
In June 2013, Petratos was signed by the Roar on a one-year deal, along with formerMelbourne Victory defensive midfielderDiogo Ferreira.[12][13][14]
On 26 December 2013, Petratos scored his first career hattrick against his former club Sydney FC. On 17 July, Petratos scored the opening goal againstPremier League giantsLiverpool.
After a poor 2014–15 season, Petratos immediately made amends with a stellar 2015–16 'breakout' season. Petratos capped off a classic comeback victory for the Roar in Round 22 against theWestern Sydney Wanderers, contributing a goal and an assist to Roar's 3–2 win. Petratos backed up his best career form with a goal of the season contender againstMelbourne City, scoring on the half-volley from 35-metres out. He managed to feature in all of Brisbane's 29 games, finishing with a goal tally of 7 and an equally impressive 5 assists.
On 24 January 2017, Petratos was signed, along with his brotherKosta byNewcastle Jets on a 3-year contract, starting in the2017–18 season.[15] However, less than two weeks later, he accepted an offer to join Korean clubUlsan Hyundai on a 3-year deal for a sum of $300,000, which would be split evenly between Newcastle and Brisbane.[16]
On 13 June 2017, following his release fromUlsan Hyundai, Petratos signed a two-year deal withNewcastle Jets.[17]
On 18 July 2022, Petratos joinedIndian Super League clubMohun Bagan. On 10 October he made his debut againstChennaiyin FC, during which he provided the assist forManvir Singh's opening goal. He quickly proved his worth to the team by scoring a hat-trick againstKerala Blasters in only his second game. As the season progressed, he emerged as a key player for his team, leading them to finish third in the points table and eventually guiding them to the Indian Super League playoffs final. In the final againstBengaluru FC, Petratos demonstrated his skill and composure by scoring both the goals for his team, which included two penalties, as the game ended in a 2–2 draw after extra time. He also scored his penalty in the resulting shoot-out, which ultimately led his team to win the ISL trophy. Petratos finished the season with an impressive twelve goals and seven assists in 23 matches, cementing his status as a valuable member of the team.
Dimitri Petratos scored two goals against Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League final and helped Mohun Bagan lift their maiden title.[18]
Petratos scored the only goal in2023 Durand Cup final against Mohun Bagan’s rival, East Bengal FC to lift the record 17th Durand Cup title for Mohun Bagan Super Giant. Petratos had a great stint for the Mariners in the2023–24 Indian Super League, winning the ISL Golden Ball and the maidenIndian Super League shield for Bagan.
After rumours all season about an international call up Petratos was selected in theAustralia squad for the friendlies before the World Cup. Petratos started on the left wing in his international debut against Norway on 24 March 2018, playing 74 minutes before coming off forRobbie Kruse. Petratos made little impact as Australia lost 4–1 toNorway. Petratos started Australia's 2nd friendly on the bench againstColombia on 28 March and was an unused substitute as Australia drew 0–0 with Colombia.
In May 2018, he was named in Australia's 23-mansquad for the2018 World Cup inRussia.[19]
