Stefan joined the youth squad at Melbourne Victory - the club he was a longtime supporter of - ahead of their successful 2015 National Premier Leagues Victoria 2 season. In the following 2015-16 A-League season he started in three senior matches for Victory, receiving broad praise for his Man of the Match performance against Brisbane Roar in his debut, which included a nutmeg on Thomas Broich.[3]

In June 2016, Victory announced that he had signed a two-year senior contract with the club.[4]

On 15 May 2018, Nigro was released by Melbourne Victory, along with three of his teammates.[5]

On 19 July 2018, Brisbane Roar announced Nigro had signed for the club.[6] He made his debut as a late substitute in a 2-0 win against Melbourne City FC.

At the end of the 2018/19 season, Nigro was released by Brisbane Roar.

Nigro returned to the A-League in December 2020, signing with Central Coast Mariners.[7]
