Career

Maurer played the 1949–50 season with Young Boys who during that season won promotion to the Nationalliga A.[1] For the following season Maurer transferred to Servette but because he did not get much playing time he moved on to Lausanne-Sport just one year later. Here he stayed for six seasons and during this time he was called up for the Swiss national team. In his sixth season by Lausanne-Sport he did not get any playing time due to an injury. He then moved on to Biel-Bienne for the 1957–58 Nationalliga A to strengthen the squad who had just achieved promotion, however, at the end of the season the team suffered relegation.[2]

Maurer then joined FC Basel's first team for their 1958–59 season under manager Rudi Strittich. After playing in four test games, Maurer played his domestic league debut for his new club in the second game of the season, on 6 September 1958, in the home game at the Landhof as Basel were defeated 1–4 by Grenchen.[3] He scored his first goal for his club on 23 November 1958 in the home game as Basel were defeated 2–4 by Grasshopper Club.[4]

Between the years 1958 and 1960 Maurer played a total of 56 games for Basel scoring a total of five goals. 35 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, three in the Swiss Cup and 18 were friendly games. He scored his five goals all in the domestic league.[5]

Following his time with Basel, Maurer returned to Servette and ended his active football career.
