Steve joins from Tameside neighbours Droylsden after falling down the pecking order at the Butchers Arms. He started his career at home town club Sunderland as a trainee. He spent six years there (July 1991 to February 1997), progressing into the reserve squad, and making a dozen first team appearances. The 1995/96 season was spent on loan at Doncaster where he only managed five appearances, scoring one goal. His time at Sunderland ended in 1997 when he joined Scarborough on a free transfer after spending a two month loan spell there. Scarborough were a league club then, and Steve made 190 appearances for the seasiders, scoring fifty-four goals. When Scarborough were relegated, he joined Swansea City, making twenty-six appearances and scoring one goal. His first of two spells at Chester followed in June 2005, but only making four appearances in nine months left him restless, and he opted for being part of a swap deal for Brian Quayley at Nuneaton, seeing out the remainder of the 02/03 season with the midlands club. It was back to Chester City at the start of the 03/04 campaign, but he only managed two sub appearances for the Deva outfit, and was sent out on loan regularly, first to Forest Green Rovers in September 2003 (seven appearances and three goals), then to Leigh RMI in February 2004 (five appearances and four goals), before finally ending up at Droylsden in April 2004. He so impressed Dave Pace that he was offered terms, and transferred on a free from Chester to Droylsden for the 04/05 season. He left Celtic after a successful season to join Witton Albion.
