Playing career
Kirk Stephens started out as a schoolboy with local club Coventry City, but after four years on their books he was told he wasn't up to standard. Stephens joined non-League Nuneaton Borough, managed by a young David Pleat. After five years, Pleat moved on to Second Division side Luton Town, and one of his first signings for his new club was the 23-year-old Stephens. He made his debut on 19 August 1978, in a 6–1 home win over Oldham Athletic, and went on to play 227 times for the club, scoring twice.
He was sold to his home town club Coventry City in 1984, and he played 34 times for them over two seasons before injury forced an end to his professional career. He returned to his former team Nuneaton Borough. He also played at Barnet scoring two goals
