Club career

Born in Oviedo, Asturias to an Asturian father and a Colombian mother, Steven joined FC Barcelona's youth ranks in 2013, after stints at Fútbol Centro Asturiano Oviedo, Astur CF and Sporting de Gijón.[2][3] He left the club the following year, and subsequently represented RCD Espanyol and Real Oviedo;[4] he made his senior debut with the latter's reserves in 2016, in Tercera División.

Steven made his first team debut on 6 September 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ramón Folch in a 0–1 home loss against CD Numancia, for the season's Copa del Rey.[5] His Segunda División debut occurred on 18 November, as he replaced Juan Forlín in a 1–3 loss at Real Valladolid.

Steven scored his first professional goal on 18 March 2018, netting the winner in a 2–1 home victory over Granada CF. On 11 June of the following year, he was one of the seven players from the B-side who were promoted to the main squad for the 2019–20 campaign.[6]

On 1 February 2020, Steven was loaned to Segunda División B side CD Badajoz until the end of the season.[7] He made no appearances for the side and returned to Oviedo in July, where he again featured for the B's before being definitely promoted to the main squad on 1 July 2021,[8] but terminated his contract on 20 July.[9]
