Club career

In the 2020-21 A-League season Mauragis started the opening two matches for Newcastle as he competed with Connor O'Toole for the starting position at left-back. After appearing regularly for the Jets in the early stages of the season he was subsequently not included in the matchday squad until the later stages of the season. Mauragis started in the teams remaining three matches of the regular season where he scored one goal and made two assists as his combination with fellow youth team player Archie Goodwin resulted in Newcastle avoiding finishing last on the table.^[3]

Central Coast Mariners

After 4 seasons at the Jets, Mauragis moved to their F3 Derby arch rivals, the Central Coast Mariners. Mauragis signed a three-year contract with the Mariners.^[4] Mauragis made his debut for the club on 7 August 2024, in a 2024 Australia Cup round of 32 tie against Heidelberg United.^[5]
