In 2017, Tony joined the Central Queensland Capras in the Intrust Super Cup, a move encouraged by his partner, Dawn Berryman, who recognised his potential. His performance there paved the way for a stint with the Redcliffe Dolphins in 2018. Seeking new challenges, Tony ventured to France to play for Carcassonne, where he contributed to their 2019 Coupe de France victory.​

Returning to Australia in 2020 to be closer to family, Tony signed with the Norths Devils. His impact was immediate, playing a pivotal role in the team’s back-to-back premierships in 2021 and 2022. By July 2023, he celebrated his 100th Cup game, reflecting on a journey marked by perseverance and familial support.​
