Matty Stevens

Mathew Antony "Matty" Stevens (born 12 February 1998) is an English footballer and former amateur boxer who plays as a forward for EFL League Two club AFC Wimbledon.

[3] Stevens, who fought out of Pinewood Starr ABC in Crowthorne and once sparred with Tim Witherspoon,[4] won four national titles during his brief career at youth level.

Stevens quit boxing aged 15, although while still fighting he was part of the youth teams at Aldershot Town,[9] Farnborough,[10] and Reading, where he scored 32 goals in the 2013–14 season at U-16 level.

Impressive goal scoring form for the youth team early in the season saw him make his senior debut against Alfreton Town on 6 September 2014,[12] coming on as a substitute for Sam Togwell after 82 minutes,[13] becoming Barnet's youngest ever player aged 16 years and 204 days, a record previously held by Mauro Vilhete[12] (a record lost to Dwight Pascal in 2016).

[17] Stevens scored six times for the Bees in 2015–16 pre-season, and made his Football League debut when he came on as an 87th-minute substitute for Michael Gash against Leyton Orient on 8 August 2015.

[24] Stevens also finished as top scorer for Posh in 2018–19 pre-season before joinining Slough Town on loan on 31 August 2018 until the New Year,[25] but was recalled in early December.
