Stefan Tone Marinovic (born October 7, 1991 in Auckland ) is a New Zealand soccer player .

Career

Marinovic, who won the national championship in 2004 in the U-14 age group and a year later in the U-15, was part of the New Zealand national school team in 2007 and 2008 and took part in a tour of Austria. After trial training in 2008 at FC Everton , FC Zurich and FC Schalke 04 , he played in the youth team of Waitakere United in 2009 , which lost 6-0 in the final of the national youth championship Canterbury United . In the summer of 2009, the graduate of the Wynton Rufer Soccer School of Excellence , an institution founded by the former New Zealand soccer player Wynton Rufer to promote talent, came to Germany for trial training at Hamburger SV , Werder Bremen and SV Wehen Wiesbaden and finally signed a professional contract in Wehen.

Marinovic was the third goalkeeper in the professional squad in the third division in the 2009/10 season and was used for the U-23 team in the Regionalliga Süd alternating with Marc Birkenbach . After being nominated several times as a substitute on match days, he made his professional debut on April 27, 2010 in the away game against leaders Erzgebirge Aue (2: 2) after Birkenbach was injured after 30 minutes and regular goalkeeper Erik Domaschke was injured was traveling. After Michael Gurski's new signing, he remained number three in the following season and was only used in the second team. After he remained without a competitive game in the 2011/12 season , he left labor at the end of the season and went to FC Ismaning on February 1, 2013 . During the 2013/14 winter break he moved to the second team of TSV 1860 Munich and in summer 2014 to SpVgg Unterhaching .

Marinovic was initially a substitute goalkeeper in Unterhaching, but then, after the departure of regular goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, earned a place in the first eleven before an injury stopped him. After the club's relegation to the Bayern Regional League , Marinovic became the undisputed number one and attracted attention , among other things, with good performances in the DFB Cup against Bundesliga clubs FC Ingolstadt 04 and Bayer Leverkusen. In July 2017 he moved to the North American professional league MLS for the Vancouver Whitecaps . With the Whitecaps he was in the quarter-final play-offs at the end of the 2017 season . In the season 2018 Marinovic was goalkeeper, after missing the play-offs but his contract was not renewed at the end of the year.

At the beginning of March 2019, he joined the English second division club Bristol City until the end of the season , which no longer had a professional goalkeeper after the long-term failure of Frank Fielding and an injury to Niki Mänenpää . In July 2019, he returned to his native New Zealand and joined Wellington Phoenix .

National team

Marinovic took part in the 2011 U-20 World Cup in Colombia with the New Zealand U-20 national team. The goalkeeper was in goal in all three of New Zealand's tournament games when a draw against Cameroon and Uruguay and a narrow defeat against Portugal were not enough to progress. The FIFA Technical Study Group identified Marinovic as an “outstanding player” on his team and praised him as a “confident and responsive goalkeeper, strong on the line”.

Marinovic made his debut for the New Zealand senior team on March 31, 2015 in a friendly against South Korea . He was able to parry a penalty kick, but the game was lost 0: 1. At the Oceania Football Championship in the early summer of 2016, Marinovic guarded the New Zealand goal in all five games and only had to concede one goal. In the penalty shootout in the final against the national team of Papua New Guinea, he became the big match winner with two penalties saved and qualified with his team for the 2017 Confederations Cup . There he played in New Zealand's three games, all of which were lost.

Nickname

Marinovic got his nickname "Kiwi" from his then trainer Gino Lettieri during his time at SV Wehen Wiesbaden . It is named after the New Zealand bird, the kiwi , the national symbol of New Zealand .
