Stevens played for
Gippsland Power in the
TAC Cup. In 2008 he represented Vic Country at the
2008 AFL Under 18 Championships, was named in the TAC Cup team of the year on the wing and also selected in the AIS/AFL Academy. In 2009, he captained the AIS/AFL Academy squad in their annual tour and was in the leadership group for Vic Country at the
2009 AFL Under 18 Championships. Stevens was also invited to and attended the annual AFL Draft Camp at the
Australian Institute of Sport in
Canberra in October 2009 but did not participate in much of the testing as he was undergoing rehabilitation from
osteitis pubis sustained mid-season. Stevens requested a trade to the Western Bulldogs after the Eagles' 2012 season ended, wishing to return to his home state of Victoria and rejoin former Gippsland Power teammate and friend
Clay Smith. On 24 October 2012, it was announced that Stevens had been traded to the
Western Bulldogs in exchange for the Bulldogs' pick 44 in the
2012 AFL draft. At the conclusion of the 2016 season, he was traded to St Kilda. ==Playing style==
