Stefan Tone Marinovic is a footballer from New Zealand who plays as a goalkeeper for German club SpVgg Unterhaching.
Marinovic attended Auckland private school, Kings College. In 2005 he won the Under 15 New Zealand National Championships. In 2008, Marinovic was selected for the New Zealand Under-19 Schoolboys National 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 for Wiesbaden 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.
In 2013, Marinovic left Wiesbaden and joined FC Ismaning and then the 1860 Munich Reserves, making one appearance at each club. In 2014, Marinovic signed with German 3rd division and now 4th tier club, SpVgg Unterhaching, where he plays today.
In 2011 Marinovic travelled with the New Zealand under-20 side to the World Cup in Colombia where he made two appearances.
