Steven Hetherington (born 9 March 1993) [2] is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Alloa Athletic.
He has spent the majority of his career in Scotland and has previously played for Motherwell, Airdrie United, Arbroath and Falkirk. He has also played for English non-league sides Celtic Nation and Crook Town.
Hetherington started his football career at local club Hartlepool United, and was at Victoria Park up until July 2009, when SPL club Rangers signed him. [3] He was immediately drafted into the under-19 team.
His chances at Ibrox were limited, and he was released by the club in July 2011, after not making a single first team appearance. He was then given a trial at fellow SPL club Motherwell, and did enough to earn a short-term contract at the Fir Park club. Despite not making a first team appearance in the 2011–12 season, Hetherington's good performances for the Under 19 team earned him a contract extension with the club. [4]
After several former youth players were released by Motherwell, his chances of a first team appearance increased. Indeed, on 11 August 2012, he made his competitive first-team debut as a substitute for Keith Lasley in a 1–1 draw with St. Johnstone. [5]
On 7 February 2013, after making just four appearances for Motherwell in the 2012–13 season, Hetherington went on a months loan to Lanarkshire derby rivals Airdrie United. [6] That loan was then extended till the end of the season. [7]
On 20 May 2013, Hetherington left Motherwell after failing to earn a contract extension with the Fir Park club. [8]
After an unsuccessful trial with Crystal Palace, [9] Steven had brief spells at English non-league clubs Celtic Nation and Crook Town before signing for Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic on 30 July 2014. [10]
Hetherington made the switch back to full-time football when he signed for Falkirk in June 2021. [11] He was appointed club captain two months later. [12]
On 15 June 2023, it was announced Hetherington has signed for his former club Alloa. [13]
