Steele received his first call into the first team squad of the 2005–06 season for a League Cup first round match against League Two club Cheltenham Town on 23 August 2005 and made his professional debut when he came on as a substitute for Ryan Peters in the 86th minute of the humiliating 5–0 defeat. [4] He was called into the first team again for a Football League Trophy first round match with Oxford United on 18 October, but remained on the bench during the shootout defeat.
