Stevens was the second member of a Waaia family to play in the AFL, after his elder brother Anthony. A third brother, Michael, also played in the league.[1]
He won a Morrish Medal in the 1991 AFL Under 19s Competition, the last before the formation of the TAC Cup.
In the 1992 AFL season, Stevens made four senior appearances.[2] Sydney lost all four of those games as well as the only other game he played in 1993, meaning he never got to celebrate a win while with the Swans.[2]
