Stefan Ingo Mauk (born 12 October 1995) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as an attacking midfielder for A-League Men club Adelaide United. Mauk is also capable of playing as a box-to-box midfielder and as a right winger.

Personal life[edit]

Mauk attended Henley High School.[2] Mauk's father, Georg, died of cancer when Mauk was 15.[3]

Club career[edit]

Melbourne City[edit]

Mauk joined Melbourne City as a sixteen-year-old in October 2012, signing a two-year contract after spending time at the Australian Institute of Sport.[4]

Adelaide United[edit]

Mauk returned to Adelaide, his hometown, in January 2016 after signing with Adelaide United in a trade deal for Osama Malik, who moved to Melbourne.[5][6]

N.E.C.[edit]

On 19 July 2016, Mauk signed a three-year contract at NEC in the Dutch Eredivisie.[7] He made his competitive debut for the side in August 2016 against PEC Zwolle, but was substituted off at halftime in a 1–1 draw.[8] Mauk subsequently fell out of favour at NEC, leading to reports that he would be loaned out in January 2017.[9] No move eventuated, and Mauk remained at the club in May 2017, but still yet to add to his early-season appearance, when manager Peter Hyballa was sacked.[10] Mauk finished the season with three appearances in all competitions as NEC were relegated to the Eerste Divisie, after which Mauk declared his intention to find a new club, citing that he wanted to play more regularly and in a different league.[11]

Loan to Melbourne City[edit]

Mauk returned to Australia on a season-long loan deal, linking with former club Melbourne City for the 2017–18 season.[12]

Brisbane Roar[edit]

On 28 May 2018, Mauk joined Brisbane Roar on a four-year deal from NEC.[13]

Adelaide United[edit]

On 30 January 2020, Mauk left Brisbane Roar to rejoin Adelaide United.[14] He was announced as the club's new captain on 1 December 2020, becoming the fifth South Australian player in the club's history to take on this role.[15]

Fagiano Okayama[edit]

On 22 February 2022, following a long and impressive spell in A-League, he was announced officially by J2 League club Fagiano Okayama, joining in a complete transfer from Adelaide United.[16]

International career[edit]

Mauk was first called up to the Australian squad for a friendly against England played on 27 May 2016.[17]
