[edit] Club career

[edit] West Ham United

Stokes, a midfielder, made his first team debut and only appearance for West Ham at the age of 18 in September 2005 as a replacement for Tomáš Řepka in the Carling Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday.[1][2]

During the 2005-06 season, Stokes was loaned to Conference National side Rushden & Diamonds,[3] where he made 19 appearances.[2] He joined Football League One side Brighton & Hove Albion in a one month loan deal in August 2006,[4] which was extended for a second month but Stokes decided to return to West Ham after finding first-team opportunities at Brighton difficult. He made seven appearances in all competitions for Brighton.[2] Stokes joined Stevenage Borough on a two-month loan in November 2007.[5] He scored his first career goal in the 3-1 win over Salisbury in December 2007.[6]
