Ilias made a cameo in the 2021 Grand Final season squad for South Sydney. Ilias is a one time U20s(Jersey Flegg) premiership winner with South Sydney in 2019.
Ilias came across from the Balmain junior system and junior rugby 7s representative ranks in 2019, making his South Sydney senior grade debut in the 2019 Round 7 U20s clash with North Sydney at Stadium Australia. After a interupted season due to covid, he made his reserve grade premiership debut in the 2021 Round 4 clash against Western Suburbs at Stadium Australia. Later that year in the 2021 Round 25 clash he made his first grade premiership debut against St George-Illawarra at the Sunshine Coast Stadium.
Ilias was originally a halfback when he joined South Sydney lower grades, but found his place at five-eighth in the U20s premiership winning team. He is a strong defender, with a quality running game. He is a noted goalkicker who can kick fieldgoals. But struggled as a manufactured halfback. In a memorable moment in his first grade career he kicked the winning golden point fieldgoal in the John Sattler memorial match in 2023.
Ilias played 6 seasons with South Sydney from 2019 to 2024. He played 55 first grade club games for South Sydney which included 53 first grade premiership games and 2 first grade cup games. He played 86 senior grade club games for South Sydney which included 84 senior grade premiership games and 2 senior grade cup games. He scored 224 senior grade points for South Sydney from 25 tries, 60 goals and 4 fieldgoals. Ilias also played 3 short form 9s games for South Sydney.
Ilias made his international debut in the 2022 Rugby League World Cup for Greece against France. He would play 4 representative games while at South Sydney
Ilias played his final first grade club and premiership game with South Sydney in the 2024 Round 2 clash against Brisbane at Lang Park Stadium. A few weeks later he would play his final senior grade club and premiership game with South Sydney in the 2024 Round 5 Reserve Grade clash against the Warriors at Stadium Australia, where his leg was broken in a season ending injury.
In 2022 Ilias was named the South Sydney Rookie of the Year.
