Born in Colchester, Essex, Stevenson started his career in the youth team of Leyton Orient. In November 2017 he was sent out on a work-experience loan to Isthmian League North Division side Heybridge Swifts.[3] He made his debut against Kingstonian in a 2–2 draw in the FA Trophy.[3] He went on to make twenty-three appearances for the Essex side, where he stayed until 2018.[4] In May 2018, Orient announced that he would not be offered a professional contract following the end of his scholarship, although manager Martin Ling stated that he would have been retained if the club still had an under-23 team.[5]
He subsequently joined Charlton Athletic development squad after impressing on trial against Crystal Palace in the under-18 play-off final.[6] On 10 October 2018 he became the first Charlton player to score a hat-trick on debut following the record 8–0 win away at Stevenage in the EFL Trophy.[7] He went onto make another six appearances that season as Charlton were promoted to the EFL Championship following the play-off victory over Sunderland. In May 2019, Charlton announced that his contract had been extended by a further year.[8] On 2 November 2019 he was sent out on loan to National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-month youth loan and made his debut on that day in a 2–1 away defeat to Solihull Moors.[4] His loan was extended on 5 December 2019 until 11 January 2020.[9] On 3 January 2020, Stevenson was recalled by Charlton.[10]
On 2 July 2020, it was confirmed that Stevenson had left Charlton after his contract expired.[11] Stevenson signed a one-year deal with Watford on 15 September, with the option of a further year.[12]
Following his release from Watford, Stevenson joined National League side Bromley and subsequently joined Braintree Town on a month's loan at the end of September, where he made his debut in a 6–0 defeat to Eastbourne Borough on 25 September 2021.[13]
