Dylan Pierias made his debut for Melbourne City in February 2017 against Brisbane Roar. With 8 first-team players unavailable to City, Pierias became the first player born in the 21st century to take the field in the A-Leauge.
After seeing only occasional stints of game time with City, Pierias made the crosstown move to fellow Melbourne-based club Western United, where he has become an integral part of the club.
In the 2020/21 season, Pierias’ second season with United, the 21-year-old scored six goals in 17 appearances while playing in multiple positions on the pitch, displaying the sort of versatility that can become crucial in a gruelling Olympic tournament.
After the exploits of his 2020/21 campaign, Pierias was rewarded with a two-year contract extension at United. Contributing to the squad that would go on to win the A-League Men’s Championship in 2022.
Pierias made his Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020, starting Australia’s final tie against Egypt. After a tough 2-0 defeat, they were eliminated from the tournament and ineligible for medal contention.
