In April 2014, Skapetis joined Premier League side Stoke City, initially to play for their under-21 side.[1]
Skapetis had trials at several clubs including Derby County, Cardiff City and Sheffield United late in 2016.[2][3] He signed with Dover Athletic in March 2017.[4]
Skapetis returned to Australia in 2017, where he underwent a trial with Brisbane Roar.[5] He made his competitive debut for the Roar in their 2017 FFA Cup match against Melbourne Victory. Despite the Roar losing the game 5–1, Skapetis came on as a substitute and scored with a long-range effort late in the game.[6]
On 18 January 2018, Skapetis left Brisbane Roar and joined fellow A-League club Central Coast Mariners on a one-year deal.[7]
On 24 September 2018, National Premier Leagues Victoria side Dandenong Thunder SC announced the signing of Skapetis until the end of the 2020 NPL Victoria season.[8]
