Jonathan Stevenson (born October 13, 1982 in Leicester, England) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Conference North side Boston United, where he plays as a striker.

This small, pacy striker started his career with home town side Leicester City as a trainee. Stevenson did not start a game for the club, making only 12 appearances in the league, all coming on as a substitute. His debut came against West Ham United in a FA Premier League match on 12 January 2002. He went on to score only two goals for the club - against Aston Villa in a 2-2 draw, and the solitary goal in a 6-1 defeat at the hands of Ipswich Town.

After being released by Leicester City in June 2003, he was snapped up by Swindon Town. At Swindon he made just eight appearances, four as a substitute.

After failing to make his mark, Stevenson was signed by Cambridge City before moving on to Conference North side, Alfreton Town.

After a rather successful year at Alfreton Town, Stevenson joined Tamworth, where he signed a 12-month deal from 18 May 2006.

On June 28, 2007, local newspaper Tamworth Herald confirmed that Tamworth manager Gary Mills had said that Stevenson hadn't been offered a new deal at the club and was unlikely to receive one along with fellow striker Steve Burton.

Stevenson was initially on trial with Conference North side Hinckley United, before signing for the club in July, 2007.

It was confirmed on September 14, 2007, that Stevenson had signed for Conference North rivals Boston United from Hinckley United. Stevenson has begun his tenure at Boston United in sensational form scoring in all his first three matches. However, he departed at the end of the season.^[1]
