The following season, he was loaned to the Southern California Seahorses, where he delivered a standout campaign—ranking among the national leaders in goals and assists. His strong form and attacking impact drew the attention of Major League Soccer scouts, and after an impressive performance in a reserve match against Chivas USA, Stovall signed a professional contract with the MLS club later that year.

The following year he joined the Charlotte Eagles of the USL Championship making several appearances. 2007, he made the move to the Cleveland City Stars of the USL First Division in 2007. [1] After two standout seasons with the Cleveland City Stars—culminating in the club’s 2008 USL Second Division championship—Stovall earned recognition for his technical quality, work rate, and leadership. His performances opened the door to Europe, where he trained and later signed with Belgian First Division club A.F.C. Tubize and German Regionalliga side SG Sonnenhof Großaspach. Following his European stint, Stovall returned to the United States for the 2009 USL season.

Missing the 2010 season to coach, he made a return to professional soccer the following season. April 12, 2011, Stovall signed a 21-day contract with Rochester Rhinos of the USL Pro league. [2]
