Darren, who can play as a left winger or striker, joined the Blues in June 2021.

He spent 2020/21 at fellow National League North side Curzon Ashton. Once the season was curtailed, he went on to join FC Halifax Town on loan – making four appearances and scoring one goal – against Chesterfield on the final day of the National League campaign.

The Jamaican-born attacker kicked off his career at Bradford City and has since had spells at Chorley, Tranmere Rovers, AFC Fylde and Stockport County.

During his time with the Hatters, Stephenson made 71 appearances and scored ten goals – being a part of the side that clinched promotion from this division back in 2019. ‘Daz’ made 38 league appearances last term and scored eight goals.
