Biography

Recognised as the club’s most successful ever manager, having taking over as Head Coach in the 2004 close season. Steve guided the Dabbers to FA Vase glory in 2006 and the following season clinched promotion to the UniBond League after steering the club to its highest finish (3rd) in its 25 year membership of the NW Counties League. Dubbed ‘Sir Steve’ by Nantwich fans, he added the elusive Cheshire Senior Cup to the club’s trophy cabinet and gained a second successive promotion to the UniBond Premier in 2008.
The former England Youth international was a vastly experienced central defender who was on the books of Stoke City before joining Crewe Alexandra (1983-87:166,1). Steve gained further League experience with Burnley (1987-90:182,12), Barnsley (1991-96:119,10), York City (97/98:2,1) on loan and Oxford United (1997-99:48,3) before joining Northwich Victoria (2000-02:28,1lge) in August 2000, becoming Assistant Manager to Jimmy Quinn the following July.
Steve was Vics’ Manager at the start of 03/04 but, after departing the club, signed on for Nantwich as a player in November 2003, making his debut in the 5-1 home win over Trafford, 08/11/2003. Received the NWCL Manager of the Month awards for October 2005 and April 2006. After taking the Dabbers to the UniBond Premier Play-Off Final, he was appointed Assistant Manager of Crewe Alexandra in June 2009, stepping up to become Manager in November 2011 and guiding the Alex to promotion via Wembley play-off glory in his first season in charge.
Parted company with the Alex in January 2017 and appointed Head Coach at Leyton Orient in July 2017. The East London club were on a downward spiral after their relegation from the Football League and, unable to reverse the trend, he was sacked in November 2017. Joined the Wolverhampton Wanderers Academy in the summer of 2018 and had a spell as Interim Manager of the Premier League club.
Father of Harry and Joe.
