Scerri went into the 2006–07 season, and added to his medals collection, as Hibernians secured the Maltese Cup for the second consecutive season. On the domestic front, Hibernians finished in 5th position in the Premier League, with Terence making 21 appearances and scoring 14 goals.
The 2007–08 season turned out to be a very disappointing one for Hibernians, as the club finished the first phase of the season in the relegation pool, there was never any doubt the club would avoid relegation, and finished the season in 7th position. Scerri went on to make 24 appearances and score 11 goals. The club did however have one thing to shout about, as they won the Maltese Super Cup.
Hibernians went from one extreme to the other during the 2008–09 season. Under the guidance of new manager Mark Miller, the club shocked the critics and beat Valletta by two points to win the Maltese title. Terence went make 26 appearances and scored 26 goals, making him the Premier League top scorer for the season.

Terence Scerri was banned from going to a football ground in Malta and also from all football activities for a year, after he was charged with slightly injuring Floriana's Christian Cassar after kicking him in front of TV cameras. This was not his first football ban, his ban was later reduced to 8 games, even though he still cannot go near a football stadium in Malta.
On 23 February 2012 Terence Scerri was fined €1000, when Christian Cassar had withdrawn his criminal complaint against Scerri and forgiven him. Now he is able to return play with the current champions Valletta F.C.[2]
