1993 - 2001   -   Steve joined the club in its inauguration year of 1993 and was the backbone of the first team through its early successful years. He played in every final up until 2000 and was a member of the side that won the County Cup final in 1996 starting at Centre Half.
Steve has always shown a great commitment to the game and picked up his nickname for his ferocious but very legal tackles in the centre of the field. He hardly ever received yellow cards but constantly won the ball at every given opportunity.
Lately Steve has filled the midfield for the reserves, and is constantly giving his vast experience to the younger players around him, earning their admiration with his enthusiasm for the game.

2001 / 02   -   Steve was moved away from his customary Centre Half position and was moved alongside Andy Djemal up front. They immediately clicked and formed a remarkable strike partnership which took the team to a superb Division 3 league title.
In twenty four appearances for the team, joint second, he scored ten good goals and must have set up just as many for the Turk, you could tell he was enjoying himself.

2002 / 03   -   Steve came back again for his 10th season with the club and made six appearances for the Reserves, three as sub and earnt one Man of the Match award.

He chose not to play anymore games for the club after the fiasco of the Reserves folding in January 2003.
