Shane Stefanutto (born 12 January 1980) is an Australian former professional

Australian national team
.

Club career

Stefanutto trained at the Queensland Academy of Sport before playing for the

North Queensland Fury on 5 August 2009.[1]

He sustained a potentially season-ending knee injury in a match against Perth Glory after an innocuous challenge with Adriano Pellegrino, which was presumed to be a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.[2] The injury hindered his World Cup 2010 selection hopes. On 13 April 2010, Stefanutto signed a contract with the Brisbane Roar, which would see him play there for the next three seasons.[3]

Shane announced his retirement from professional football on 30 April 2016 at the end of the 2015–16 A-League season.[4]

In June 2016, he signed with National Premier Leagues Queensland side Olympic FC.[5]

International career

On 2 November 2006 he received his first call-up to the

Australian national team for an international friendly against Ghana, in London but did not play. On 24 March 2007 Stefanutto won his first international cap in a friendly match against China. He remained out of the team for more than two years before receiving a recall in Australia's final qualification match for the 2010 World Cup against Japan in June 2009.[6]

Personal life

Stefanutto is also an Italian citizen, and his family originates from the town of Latisana, near the city of Udine, in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. He is married to Tammy Woolf and they have two children, Stella and Max. Following his professional retirement in 2016, Stefanutto transitioned into Brisbane Roar's administration staff, re-joining the club as their Media & Communications Officer. [7]
