Antonis, 23, joins the Eredivisie club from Greek outfit PAOK, having spent the second half of the 2016/17 season on loan at Western Sydney Wanderers.

The Sydney-born talent becomes VVV's third signing following their promotion, with German goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall and striker Tarik Tissoudali also joining.

Antonis underwent a medical on Friday and was presented to the club's fans in a 7-0 friendly win against Hout-Blerick on Saturday.

VVV football manager Stan Valckx told the club website: "He is a versatile midfielder who has qualities we need in the league."

The Dutch club has a history with Australian players with Cameron Watson, Travis Cooper and Harry Ascroft among their former players.

The 2017-18 Eredivisie commences on August 12 with VVV at home to Craig Goodwin's Sparta Rotterdam.
