Histon

Born in Luton, Bedfordshire, [1] Stevenson began his career in the youth system at Histon, signing for the club at the age of 15. [3] He signed his first professional contract with Histon in July 2010, [4] and made his first team debut at the age of 18 in a 2–0 defeat away to AFC Wimbledon on 17 August 2010, replacing Callum Stewart as a 77th-minute substitute. [5] Stevenson scored his first career goal in a 2–1 defeat at home to York City on 15 January 2011, [5] and went on to score his second goal in a 3–2 defeat at home to Mansfield Town on 22 March. [5] He maintained a first team place throughout 2010–11, and finished the season with two goals from 31 appearances, [6] but was unable to help Histon avoid relegation to the Conference North. [7]

Stevenson played in every league match in 2011–12, during which he made his first appearance of the season in a 2–2 draw at home to Blyth Spartans on the opening day of the season. [5] His first goal of the season came with the third goal in a 3–0 win at home to Solihull Moors on 6 December 2011. [5] Stevenson finished the season with three goals from 45 appearances.

Luton Town
