Originally from Hope Valley, a northern suburb of Adelaide, Giro played for Norwood in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), where he was awarded the MVP for the SANFL Under 18 competition in 2016.[1] He was selected by Fremantle with their second selection, twenty first overall, in the 2018 AFL rookie draft.[2]

Giro made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the round 11 of the 2018 AFL season, alongside fellow debutant Scott Jones.[3] On debut he kicked one goal and had 10 disposals as the Dockers lost to the Magpies by 61 points.

Before the start of the 2019 season, Stefan signed a two year contract extension with Fremantle.[4] Unfortunately for Stefan, his 2019 season ended prematurely after injuring his ACL in Peel Thunder's round 8 clash against Subiaco.[5]
