Steve then started his professional football career at Sheffield Wednesday, the team he had supported all his life.

He was released from the club along with 12 other players by Chris Turner in one of the biggest clear out of players the club had ever seen at the end of the 2003-2004 season [http://sheffieldwednesday.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=894&p=2&stid=8347558] before being signed by Halifax Town.

After almost 100 games for Halifax it was announced on the 18th of June 2007 that Steve had made a return to the football league by signing a two year deal with Bury.
