Steve Mifsud (born 25 August 1972 in Australia) is a Maltese Australian professional snooker player.[3]

Career

He was a winner of the IBSF World Amateur Championship in Cairo, Egypt in 2002, beating Tim English 11–6 in the final which enabled him to get on the main tour for the 2002/2003 season, although he later dropped off. He was runner-up to Mark Allen in the same event two years later.

He got back onto the main tour for the 2007/2008 season by finishing top of the Australian rankings. Again he dropped off immediately, winning just one match in the six knockout tournaments.

Steve was Neil Robertson's partner in the 2011 World Cup where he helped Australia reach the quarter-finals. He, along with his brother James, was given a wildcard for Australian Open, where he lost 2-5 to Dominic Dale.

In 2014 Mifsud won the Oceania Snooker Championship, regaining his Main Tour place for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.[4]
