He played in twenty-eight regular season games with the RailHawks, but was injured for most of the season and managed only three goals. On April 3, 2009, he signed with the Charleston Battery of the USL First Division. In June 2010, he moved to San Diego Boca of the National Premier Soccer League. Antoniuk signed with FC Edmonton of the North American Soccer League (NASL) on March 16, 2011., scoring four goals and adding four assists for the club . The club declined to pick up his option for a second year after the conclusion of the 2011 season.

He signed with Tampa Bay Rowdies of the NASL on January 31, 2012. He went on lead the Rowdies with nine goals while notching four assists, on the way to helping the Rowdies win the NASL Championship. In the semi-final game, Antoniuk scored the game winner in the 85th minute against the Carolina Railhawks. In the championship against the Minnesota Stars, he scored in the 86th minute to tie the aggregate score between the two teams, sending the game to a penalty shootout in which the Rowdies prevailed.

While playing outdoor soccer professionally for 10 seasons, Antoniuk has also played 8 seasons of professional indoor soccer in the MISL and PASL. The indoor season is played in the 4 months over the winter, and barely overlaps with the outdoor leagues.

Indoor soccer

On October 31, 2003, Antoniuk signed, with the permission of the Portland Timbers, a two-year contract with the Milwaukee Wave of Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). He played only three games with the Wave before being traded to the San Diego Sockers, where he scored two goals in eight games. The Sockers folded during the 2004–2005 season and the Philadelphia KiXX selected Antoniuk in the first round of the dispersal draft, held January 5, 2005. Antoniuk signed with the KiXX on January 28, 2005.

In the fall of 2007, after a 2-year break, Antoniuk returned to the indoor circuit with the New Jersey Ironmen of MISL.
