Sterrey played 87 times in the National Soccer League (NSL), turning out for Sydney Croatia in their first NSL season in 1984. In 1985, Sterrey moved to Marconi on a A$4,000 transfer. He played two seasons for the Stallions, making 44 appearances. Sterrey returned to the NSL in 1989 playing for Blacktown City.[8][9]
Taking charge of the Fiji national selection in 2004 on a two-year contract with the aim of improving the team and securing an A-League job, Sterrey has stated that Fijian football has gone in a downwards trajectory, disliking the use of foreign players and advising the use of young, homegrown talents instead.[10][11][12] His first win as coach would be a 1–0 victory over India on 17 August 2005.[13] By 2006, the Australian was replaced by Uruguayan Juan Carlos Buzzetti[14] which would be his only coaching appointment abroad.
