Another outstanding prospect from Liverpool's youth scheme, Stephen had already appeared for England Under-21s before he made his debut for the Reds as a substitute in the Worthington Cup tie at Stoke City in November 2000.
Further appearances off the bench followed in February against West Ham United and Sunderland before he made the starting line-up for the FA Cup quarter-final tie at Tranmere Rovers, but although he performed admirably this was his last first-team action of the 2000-01 season.
He failed to break into the first team in 2001-02 season and joined Sunderland in the summer of 2002.
Stephen joined Coventry City in August 2008 with a two-year contract.
He joined Brentford in October 2010 with a contract to June 2011.
