Career

Orlando City

On November 9, 2015, Orlando City announced the signing of Stajduhar to a Homegrown contract. He became the club's fourth homegrown player.[1]

Stajduhar was loaned to USL side Louisville City on April 30, 2016, but didn't make an appearance for the club.[2]

Stajduhar was loaned out again on March 15, 2019, to USL Championship side Tulsa Roughnecks for their 2019 season.[3] He made his professional debut on March 29 in a 2–1 win over RGV Toros.[4] He was briefly recalled by Orlando City on June 24 owing to Greg Ranjitsingh's participation in the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup and an injury to Adam Grinwis before returning to Tulsa in July.[5] In July 2019, Stajduhar was selected to take part in the MLS Homegrown Game.[6] Having had his original contract option declined at the end of the season, Stajduhar renegotiated a new one-year deal with Orlando ahead of the 2020 season.[7][8]

On December 14, 2020, it was announced Stajduhar had signed for New York City FC on loan as an emergency backup goalkeeper with the team competing in the final stages of the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League being held at Orlando's Exploria Stadium. Regular starter Sean Johnson was not permitted to travel after being ruled a close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 while backup Brad Stuver left the club with his contract expiring that month.[9][10] Stajduhar was an unused substitute behind usual third-string goalkeeper Luis Barraza as New York City lost 4–0 to Tigres UANL.[11]

International

Stajduhar featured for the United States' youth teams on a consistent basis, representing the U.S. U-18 and U-20 men's national teams. Stajduhar joined the U-20 USMNT for an international tournament in Germany.[12]
