Having developed through the ranks at Aston Villa, Stephen stepped up to make his bow in senior football when he came off the subs' bench to replace Julian Joachim for the final 15 minutes of the Inter Toto Semi-Final second leg against Celta Vigo.

A talented midfield player, he spent the remainder of the campaign developing in the club's junior teams.

He was a regular for England Under-17s, winning six caps during the 2000-01 season.

After earlier loan spells, Stephen joined AFC Bournemouth in July 2005 with a two-year contract.
