Newcastle Jets In May 2011, it was announced that he signed a two-year contract with
Newcastle Jets FC, joining them for the 2011–12 and 2012–13
A-League seasons. Calvano impressed during his first season with the Jets. Despite giving away three penalties he was very solid in the back which persuaded incoming coach
Gary Van Egmond to keep him in the starting eleven. He scored his first goal for Newcastle in a round five match against
Perth Glory in the
2012-13 A-League season. Tiago was released by the Newcastle Jets on 17 January 2013, due to lack of game time and a rumoured falling out of favour with head coach Van Egmond.
Sydney FC On 17 January 2013, Tiago signed with
Sydney FC as an injury replacement for
Pascal Bosschaart. Coming straight into the starting eleven after signing for Sydney, he made his debut in Sydney's 7–1 demolition of
Wellington Phoenix at
Allianz Stadium. Sydney made his position permanent, signing a one-year deal with the club for the 2013–14 A-League season.
Minnesota United Towards the end of his contract, Tiago and Sydney FC agreed to a mutual termination of his contract to allow him to take up an offer of a contract in the United States for NASL side
Minnesota United FC.
