Stefan Tone Marinovic is a footballer from New Zealand who plays as a goalkeeper for German club SpVgg Unterhaching.

Club career

Marinovic attended Auckland's exclusive footballing school Kings College. He played for the New Zealand youth teams throughout his footballing career. In 2005 he won the Under 15 New Zealand National Championships, and joined the national youth team for its tour of Austria. He received trials from clubs such as Everton FC, FC Zürich and FC Schalke 04, but they all failed. So he joined Waitakere United, he reached the final of the national championships again, but this time lost 6-0 to Canterbury United. In the Summer of 2009 he was a graduate of the Wynton Rufer Soccer School of Excellence, created for young footballers to have the chance of a trial at Hamburger SV or SV Werder Bremen. There he was spotted by SV Wehen Wiesbaden and he signed a professional contract with them. He was the 3rd choice goalkeeper in the 2010/11 season, and played with the U23 team. He made his professional debut on 27 April 2010 in an away game to league leaders Erzgebirge Aue when Marc Birkenbach was injured after 30 minutes. The game finished 2-2. When Michael Gurski was signed, he again became the 3rd choice keeper, only being used for the U23 team.

International career

In 2011 Marinovic travelled with the New Zealand under-20 side to the World Cup in Colombia where he made two appearances.

On 8 March 2015, Marinovic was called into the New Zealand national football team to play a friendly against South Korea by coach Anthony Hudson. He made his debut in the match in Seoul on 31 March, playing the full 90 minutes. He conceded a penalty kick, but saved it, conceding the only goal of the game by Lee Jae-sung in the 86th minute
