Arjan Malić

Arjan Malić of Sturm Graz was born in Jesenice, Slovenia on 28 August 2005 (age 20).

Arjan Malić, born on 28 August 2005 (age 20), is a Bosnia and Herzegovina right-back currently with Sturm Graz. His profile is still taking shape, but he is already operating at a decent level, with his market value put at around £1.5m by Transfermarkt.

His strongest senior league season so far came with SV Ried in 2023-24, when he made 29 appearances and scored once. That spell gave him a proper run of football rather than the usual scattered minutes young defenders can be left to feed on.

At Sturm Graz in 2026-27, Malić has made nine appearances across all competitions, including one in the league, three in Champions League qualifying and five in the Europa League. He has also been involved with Bosnia and Herzegovina, with one World Cup appearance and five European qualifying appearances this season.

Malić is a developing full-back with senior experience in Austria and a growing international record for Bosnia and Herzegovina. At this stage, his career is still best read as one of steady accumulation rather than grand statements.
