Club career

Štefulj started his professional career with NK Varteks in 1992, before transferring to Croatia Zagreb in the winter break of the 1995-96 season. During the 1997-98 season, he also spent a few months on loan to NK Slaven Belupo. In 1999, he moved to German side Hannover 96, who played in the 2nd Bundesliga at the time. He established himself as a regular at the club, appearing in a total of 95 league matches over the following three seasons and helping the club gain promotion to the 1st Bundesliga in 2002. He scored a total of 14 league goals during the three seasons.

During the 2002-03 season, he appeared in a total of 22 Bundesliga matches for Hannover, scoring his only goal of the season in a 4-2 win against 1. FC Nuremberg in February 2003. The following season, he made 9 more Bundesliga appearances for Hannover before being loaned to Nuremberg in February 2004, making 16 appearances for the club in the 2nd Bundesliga until the end of the season and scoring two goals for the club in a 4-3 win at VfL Osnabrück in May 2004. He also helped Nuremberg return to the top flight for the 2004-05 season.

He then returned to Hannover following the end of the 2003-04 season, but only made 4 Bundesliga appearances for the club throughout the entire 2004-05 Bundesliga season. In the summer of 2005, he moved to SC Paderborn 07, where he only made one appearance in the 2nd Bundesliga before moving to Rot-Weiss Essen in the winter break of the 2005-06 season and making 10 appearances for the club in the Regionalliga Nord. He also helped Essen gain promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga for the 2006-07 season, but made no appearances in the league before leaving for NK Međimurje in January 2007. He finished his career with Međimurje during the 2007-08 season.
