Stockton Town are pleased to announce the signing of goalkeeper Elliott Stephenson.
The former Sunderland Youth player, who has been on trial with the club, has been brought in to provide competition for number one Nathan Harker.

Commenting on the signing, Manager Michael Dunwell said: “Pleased to sign Elliot after he has impressed in Pre-Season games and training.
“He comes from a good pedigree at Sunderland, Hartlepool United and South Shields and will provide great competition and cover for Nathan Harker.”
Speaking after signing for Stockton, Stephenson said:
“To be honest the move came about out of the blue, I haven’t been in football for a few years now and wanted to get back into it. I was referred by a friend to the lads here and came along for a few sessions, ended up getting a chance to play during a few pre season games and the rest followed on from there.”
“I’m honestly buzzing to get an opportunity here it’s a great environment at the club and I’m glad to be a part of it, the lads have been great all welcoming and supportive throughout, can’t wait to push on now and see where we get this season.”
Welcome to Stockton, Elliott!
