Career

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. [8] He went on to finish 2012–13 as Histon's top scorer with 11 goals from 45 appearances and played in all but one league match. [3] [9]

Luton Town

On 20 May 2013, Conference Premier club Luton Town announced that they would sign Stevenson on a two-year contract following the expiration of his contract with Histon on 1 July. [3] He debuted on 7 September in a 0–0 draw at home to Grimsby Town, having entered the match as a half-time substitute. [5] Stevenson failed to establish himself in the first team and was loaned to fellow Conference Premier club Dartford on 28 November until 4 January 2014. [10] He instantly secured a first team place and debuted two days later against Forest Green Rovers in an FA Trophy first round tie, which finished as a 1–1 draw. [5] Stevenson's loan at the club was extended on 8 January 2014 until 1 February. [11] He scored his first goal for Dartford two days later with the opener in a 1–1 draw away to Welling United, a result that ended a run of 10 consecutive league defeats. [12] His loan with Dartford was extended on 30 January until the end of 2013–14.

[5] [18] Stevenson's loan at Aldershot was extended until the end of the season on 27 February, having scored one goal from four appearances during his initial spell with the club. [19] He went on to score two goals at home to Dover Athletic on 3 March in a 3–1 victory, [20] and completed the loan spell with three goals from 14 appearances. [5] Upon his return to Luton, the club announced that he would be released following the expiration of his contract. [21]
