Stuart Musialik (born 29 March 1985 in Newcastle, Australia) is an Australian professional footballer.

Club career

Born and raised in Newcastle, he played junior football for Adamstown Rosebuds and was selected to play in representative sides such as Northern NSW at a young age. In 2004, he played for the Weston Workers Bears which under the care of Trevor Morris, awarded him a Newcastle Jets spot. The Weston Bears won the Premiership and then made it to the NBN State Football League Grand Final that they lost to Broadmeadow Magic. During his time at the Weston Workers Bears he played alongside Nigel Boogaard.

Newcastle Jets

Musialik played for the Newcastle Jets for the A-League's first three seasons. Musialik was suspended for 1 game on 27 September 2007 after verbally abusing Melbourne Victory defender Rodrigo Vargas, during a match against Melbourne on 21 September 2007, that ended in a 2-2 draw.[1]

Sydney FC

Musialik followed his close friend Mark Bridge from the Newcastle Jets to Sydney FC to play under John Kosmina from 2008-09. He signed a 2 year deal.[2] Despite Sydney offering a contract extension, Musialik declined the offer demanding a pay rise and left Sydney at the end of the 2010/11 season.[3] Despite being given a short extension for Sydney's 2011 Champions League campaign, Musialik was released, along with several other players.[4]

Central Coast Mariners

On 25 July 2011, Musialik signed a one-year contract with Central Coast Mariners.[5]
