Stefano Brundo (born 19 May 1993) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Malaysia Super League side Sri Pahang FC.

Career

All Boys were the opening club of Brundo's senior career, with the defender making his pro bow for them in September 2014 during a Primera B Nacional draw with Independiente Rivadavia.[1][3] He remained for a total of three seasons in tier two, prior to Brundo departing on loan to newly promoted Comerciantes Unidos of the Peruvian Primera División.[1] Thirty-one appearances followed as they qualified for the 2017 Copa Sudamericana, netting versus Alianza Atlético (2), Real Garcilaso and Universidad San Martín in the process.[1] He returned to All Boys for the rest of 2016–17 but didn't feature due to an admin error.[4]

Brundo joined Atlético de Rafaela on 14 August 2017.[1] His first appearance arrived in a win away to Gimnasia y Esgrima (J) in September, which preceded twenty-two further matches along with two goals.[1] July 2018 saw Brundo go abroad once more by signing for Paraguayan Primera División side 3 de Febrero.[1][5] However, he left the Ciudad del Este club a month later - though did appear in one competitive fixture, against Cerro Porteño at home on 13 August.[1][6] A move to Mendoza with Gimnasia y Esgrima followed in mid-2018, before the defender sealed a return to Atlético de Rafaela a year later.[1][7]

In January 2021, after scoring once (versus ex-club All Boys) in thirteen games back with Rafaela, Brundo headed to Peru with Primera División outfit Carlos Stein.[8] A year later, in January 2022, he returned to his homeland, after signing with Estudiantes de Buenos Aires.[9]

In 2023, he extends his professional football career in Asia by joining five-time league titles Sri Pahang FC in Malaysia Super League.[10] He becomes one of the key players for the club due to his techniques in taking set-pieces and the ability to score goals.[11] He is currently the top goal-scoring defenders in the league with 8 goals in just 13 appearances. His finishing statistic is even higher than the club's main strikers.[12]
