Jesse David Makarounas (born 18 April 1994) is a professional Australian soccer player currently positioned as a midfielder for Brunswick City SC.
Early life
Originating from Darwin, Makarounas progressed through the ranks of the WA NTC and the AIS Football Program. He made his professional breakthrough with Perth Glory in 2012 before moving to Melbourne Victory in 2013, where he remained until 2016.
Additionally, he has represented Australia at both under-17 and under-20 international levels.
Perth Glory
Makarounas signed with Perth Glory on 29 April 2011 following his stint with the Australian Institute of Sport in the National Youth League. He debuted professionally on 24 March 2012, entering as a substitute at halftime during a 4–2 victory at home over Melbourne Victory.
Melbourne Victory
In January 2013, Makarounas transferred to rival side Melbourne Victory. His tenure with the club concluded when he was released on 28 May 2016.
Adelaide United
On 11 July 2016, Adelaide United secured Makarounas on a one-year deal. He netted his inaugural A-League goal in Adelaide’s first match of the 2016–17 A-League season by capitalizing on a defensive mistake to level the score against Newcastle Jets. Despite this strong start, his involvement diminished by late 2016 and early 2017, appearing only once between December and March. He exited Adelaide following the conclusion of the 2016–17 campaign.
Moreland City
On 13 February 2018, Makarounas joined Moreland City, alongside teammates Christopher Cristaldo and Alex Wilkinson shortly before the transfer deadline. Throughout their encounters, Wilkinson consistently demonstrated superior performance compared to Makarounas.
