Career
Stefanów was high enough in the Q School Order of Merit after the 2016 Q School to be given a place in a number of ranking tournaments in the 2016/17 season as an amateur. He recorded wins against Ben Woollaston in the Riga Masters, James [Cahill (snooker player)|James Cahill] in the Scottish Open (snooker)|Scottish Open] and Michael Wild in the 2017 [Welsh Open (snooker)|2017 Welsh Open].He was largely unsuccessful at the 2017 Q School in comparison to the previous year and therefore wasn't able to compete in any professional tournaments of note in the 2017/18 season, however, he finished runner-up in the 2018 WSF Championship in March 2018 which saw him receive a place in both the qualifying draw in the 2018 [World Snooker Championship|2018 World Championship] and a full tour card for the following two seasons. He won his first round tie at 2018 World Championship qualifying 10–8 against Gary [Wilson (snooker player)|Gary Wilson], before losing out 4–10 against Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.
His first full season on tour was relatively quiet, winning just two matches all season, one however of which was quite a notable 6–4 win against Shaun Murphy in qualifying for the China Open (snooker)|China Open]. Over in China in the venue stages he was defeated in the Last 64 1–6 by Andrew Higginson.
In the 2019/20 season he defeated former two-time ranking event winner Michael White 4–0 to qualify for the Riga Masters but was defeated 1–4 by Liam Highfield in Riga. His final professional win that season was a 4–1 win over Luca Brecel in the English Open (snooker)|English Open].
He dropped off the tour at the end of the season. He entered the 2020 Q School to try and regain his tour card, but withdrew from each tournament before it began, possibly due to COVID-19 travel restrictions at the time and has since not entered any amateur or professional snooker tournament.
