Tough-tackling midfielder born in Woolwich who began his career with Crystal Palace in 1977 and captained their youth team before progressing to the reserves, Steve left Selhurst Park in March 1981 and linked up with Leatherhead.

Early in 1982 he moved on to Dartford and Steve was sent off in a 2-0 defeat at Worcester on 29.3.82. He stayed with the Darts until the summer of 1983 when he signed for Bromley. Steve had made a total of 54 appearances without scoring.

During 1984/85 he joined Chelmsford where he played ten games before signing for Gravesend & Northfleet in March 1985. He left the Fleet in the summer of 1986 having made a total of 47 appearances (three as sub) there and scoring once. Steve then rejoined Bromley.

Early in the 1988/89 campaign he dropped into the Kent League to play for Alma Swanley and in the summer of 1989 Steve signed for Margate, linking up with his old Bromley manager Trevor Ford once more.

He made his debut in midfield on 15.8.89 as Margate beat Ramsgate 3-1 at Hartsdown in the annual Isle of Thanet Gazette Cup game. Steve kept his place for the next three matches but then had to serve a six week suspension carried over from 1988/89. He returned to the side in October 1989 and had one game at centre-back before playing in midfield in a 2-2 draw at Sheppey on 17.10.89. It turned out to be Steve's last appearance and he left the club soon afterwards.

After his departure from Hartsdown Park Steve returned to Alma Swanley.

During his time with Margate he worked as a builder and lived in Blackheath.
