Steve worked his way up through the Town ranks and was handed his first team debut at the end of the 2001/02 season.The young defender then went on to have 2 sucessful seasons, becoming a regular feature in the 'Stoke side. However, a serious injury meant that Steve missed the entire 2004/05 season. He returned for the next season but failed to get a regular run in the side and was allowed to leave in May 2006 when he joined Fleet Town.
