Player profile

The central defender is expected to provide back-up at the World Cup. Guilty of some dreadful lapses earlier in his international career, he was overlooked for 13 months before starting the World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic in March 2009. He played in three qualifiers.

Mavric has joined Austrian top-flight minnows Kapfenberger for next season. His fourth and final year with German club Koblenz ended in relegation to the Third Division in May. He started all but one league game to take his overall tally with the club to 101.

He started his career in Slovenia, winning the league with Gorica in 2004 prior to a three-season spell at Norwegian First Division side Molde.
