 Stevenson managed only 8 matches before an old injury flared up & he decided to take a step back from the game to concentrate on family & work commitments.Stevenson rejoined Troon in November 2018 after more than a year out of the game, and he said the move gave him "his love of football back"  thanks to the club's Manager Jimmy Kirkwood.The move to Portland Park proved a fruitful one for Stevenson, playing alongside former team-mates Christian Nade and Dean Keenan, and he netted 26 times in 50 appearances playing in an attacking midfield or forward role which he thrived on.
