Sturdy Australian defender Nectarios Triantis, born on 11th May 2003, is a proficient presence on the field currently enlisted with Scottish outfit Hibernian, bearing the number 26 across his shoulders. With an impressive presence of 1.91m (or 6ft 3in in old money) and weighing around 78kg (approximately 12st 3lb), he's quite the formidable figure.
This midfield dynamo's market value stands presently around £423k according to Transfermarkt, with his Hibernian contract due to culminate 31st May 2025, mere months from now.
Triantis’s footballing journey commenced in July 2020, when he joined the Western Sydney Wanderers in the A-League in Australia as a trainee, making his first team debut in the 2021-2022 league season. Come July 2022, he made a swift transfer to the Central Coast Mariners, featuring in 22 key league matches during the 2022-2023 season.
The next chapter in his career led him to Sunderland in the Championship in England in July 2023 for a humble fee around £254k. This provided him with scant first team opportunities with only two first team league appearances to his name over the 2023-2024 season and a solitary appearance in the current 2024-2025 season.
Lucky for him, a pivotal loan move to Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership meant greener pastures in February 2024, where he was deployed in 12 first team games during his inaugural season. Returning briefly to Sunderland in June 2024, he shortly found himself back in Scottish climes with a second loan to Hibernian in the succeeding August. The ongoing 2024-2025 season has certainly seen Triantis flourish with 25 league appearances and a commendable tally of three goals.
No stranger to cup football either, Triantis has made two starts in the iconic Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for Hibernian, further marking his stamp in the Scottish game.
