Jon Gorenc Stanković, born on 14 January 1996 (age 30), is a Slovenia international midfielder most closely associated with Sturm Graz. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) presence, he has mostly operated as a central defensive midfielder rather than a player built for decoration.
His serious body of work has come at Sturm Graz, where he has made 183 league appearances and scored 15 league goals across seven seasons. His most productive league campaign was 2021-22, when he scored four times in 30 appearances.
In 2026-27, he has made 13 appearances for Sturm Graz across all competitions, including eight in the league, four in Champions League qualifying, where he scored once, and one in the Europa League. He has also made two appearances for Slovenia in World Cup qualifying.
His market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Stanković’s career is a steady, substantial one: Slovenia, Sturm Graz, and a long run of useful midfield work rather than much noise around the edges.
