I played for Bristol City twice while on loan from Middlesbrough between 2012 and 2013.

Middlesbrough

While playing at Middlesbrough I gained first-hand experience in one of the most productive and forward thinking academies in England by assisting Paul Jenkins in the coaching of the U16 team. Testimonials:“Stephen is a true professional with an exemplary approach to his work. He coached within our academy while playing with the first team squad, a role that required a lot of time and effort on Stephen’s part but one that he applied himself 100% to. He was thorough in his preparation and planning of coaching sessions for U16 team and used his experience as a club captain to really motivate the players. Stephen has a great footballing knowledge but also an evident desire to keep learning, and he is a real credit to the game.”David Parnaby - Academy Manager, Middlesbrough FC▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬“I worked closely with Stephen during his time at Middlesbrough, where he had the foresight to use his time in a positive way and gain hands on coaching experience, something I’ve rarely seen from professional players in my 20 year career. Initially I led all the sessions with our U16 team, but I threw him in at the deep end when I told him at the last minute that he would have to lead a session. Stephen adapted to this perfectly though, and the players obviously really respected him for his dedication and thorough preparation. I really can’t speak highly enough about Stephen, and would readily hire him as a coach if there was a position available at the club when he retires.”Paul Jenkins - Youth Coach, Middlesbrough FC
