In June 2016, Perkatis joined Cypriot Second Division side Ethnikos Assia FC on a free transfer. After impressing with his limited opportunities in Cyprus, he was forced to depart the club over unpaid wages on the duration of his contract.

In January 2017, Perkatis joined Global FC as AFC Champions League qualifications loomed. However the club did not qualify and substantially released all their foreign players due to financial restrictions.

In March 2017, Perkatis joined New South Wales Premier League side Sydney United, establishing himself as one of the key midfielders for the club.
