Arjan Malić

Arjan Malić of Sturm Graz was born in Jesenice, Slovenia on 28 August 2005 (age 21).

Arjan Malić, born on 28 August 2005 (age 21), is a Bosnia and Herzegovina right-back now with Sturm Graz. His profile is still a developing one, though he already has a fair amount of senior football behind him for a player of his age.

His strongest league season so far came with SV Ried in 2023-2024, when he made 29 appearances and scored once. That spell gave him regular senior minutes rather than the usual thin promise attached to young defenders.

At Sturm Graz, he has been used across domestic and European football. In 2026-2027 he has made six appearances in all competitions, including Bundesliga matches, Champions League qualifiers and a Europa League outing.

His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Malić’s career is that of a young full-back building his senior record in Austria, with SV Ried providing the first substantial run and Sturm Graz the higher platform.
