Career

Born in Glasgow, Stevenson began his career with Hamilton Academical. He made his senior debut for the Accies in August 2005, in a Scottish League Cup tie against Dumbarton. He spent the rest of the season on loan at Alloa Athletic, where he made 16 appearances, scoring 1 goal. He scored a penalty in a 2–0 victory over Clyde in April 2008, on the day Hamilton won promotion to the Scottish Premier League.[1] On 17 May 2008, Stevenson signed an extension to his contract that will keep him with Hamilton until 2010.[2] Stevenson was the first Hamilton player to score a goal in the SPL, scoring a free-kick in Accies' 3–1 victory over Dundee United in their first ever SPL game.[3]

He joined Clyde in January 2009, on a loan deal until the end of the season.[4] He made his debut in a 4–2 defeat against Partick Thistle on 3 January.[5] He made 9 appearances in total for Clyde. After returning to Hamilton, Stevenson was again loaned to Alloa in March 2010,[6] where he made six SFL appearances for them.[7]

Stevenson was released from his contract with Hamilton at the end of the 2009–10 season.[8] He subsequently joined Albion Rovers on an initial one-month deal.[9] In May 2011, Stevenson played in two play-off games for Albion, which secured promotion to the Second Division.[10][11]

Stevenson was released by Albion at the end of the 2012–13 season, and he subsequently had an unsuccessful trial with Northern Irish team Portadown.[12]

On 24 September 2013, Stevenson joined Sauchie Juniors before moving to fellow Junior side Petershill in July 2014.[13][14]
