Stephenson is 23 and plays as a right back for Bolton Wanderers. He moved from Barrow to Liverpool in June 2024, completed two loan spells at Dundee United beginning in August 2024 and August 2025, and then joined Bolton on a permanent transfer in July 2026 – the sequence shows a move from lower-league senior football into a major-club environment followed by loans designed to secure regular first-team minutes before a Championship move.
