Career

Beginnings and Dynamo Dresden

Stefaniak began his career as a youth with SC Borea Dresden before joining Dynamo Dresden in 2011. He was promoted to the first team two years later, and made his debut in February 2014, as a substitute for Adam Sušac in a 3–2 defeat to FSV Frankfurt in the 2. Bundesliga.[1]

VfL Wolfsburg

On 14 September 2016, VfL Wolfsburg announced the signing of Stefaniak from Dynamo Dresden for the following season for a transfer fee of €2 million.[2][3] On 1 July 2017, Stefaniak left Dynamo Dresden to join his new club, Wolfsburg.

In May 2019, Greuther Fürth signed Stefaniak on a two-season loan deal.[4] Following a largely underwhelming first season, Fürth tried to end the loan prematurely in July 2020, but was denied.[5]

On 5 October 2020, the last day of the 2020 summer transfer window, Stefaniak re-joined former club Dynamo Dresden on loan for the 2020–21 season. His loan to Greuther Fürth was cut short.[6]

Würzburger Kickers

On 17 January 2022, Stefaniak joined Würzburger Kickers.[7] He made 14 league appearances for the club, as they suffered relegation to the Regionalliga Bayern.[8]

Erzgebirge Aue

Stefaniak moved to 3. Liga club Erzgebirge Aue on 3 June 2022, signing a one-year deal with an option for an additional season.[9]
