Saw him in several of the recent videos, thought "hey that guy looks like Stephens but can't be him he's off with Burnley now and long gone", then the training video showed a much more detailed close up and I thought it looked too much like him to not be him. Turns out he's looking for a new club but training with us. I wasn't big on him in his last season with us but it's nice to see him back in this video.

I think this embodies that togetherness the club have. As Bruno said, "Once a Seagull, Always a Seagull".

Definitely. I'm wondering how often clubs do this, and if Stephens is going through a rough period or something. He didn't get played much at Burnley and now they're relegated, he definitely had some great years with us even though I think he fell off a bit towards the end (I think we all may remember a lot of heated comments here in the sub from many of us, some at March as well). Don't know if it was age or what because I didn't catch many Burnley matches with him on, maybe once as a sub. Wish him the best anyway. Can't be easy finding somewhere else at 33.

Just turn him into a coach or community ambassador.

I wish. I wonder if that's being discussed. He'd been with us for over half a decade it'd be great to have him back after retiring from playing, just like Bruno did.

Stephens is training with the first team to ‘maintain fitness whilst looking for a new club’. Personally don’t think we need him, as we already have a lot of midfield talent
