Stephen Herdsman (born October 6, 1975, in Kingston, Jamaica), is a former American soccer defender now coaching three-time national champion Midwest United FC of Grand Rapids, MI as well as Cornerstone University of the NAIA of Grand Rapids, MI.
With his blazing speed, Herdsman earned a spot on the team as an outside back, starting 16 games for the Rapids as a rookie.
After playing in only three games in the 2003 season, however, Herdsman announced his retirement from professional soccer, reportedly due to personality conflicts with Rapids head coach Tim Hankinson.
After finishing the season with the West Michigan Edge, Herdsman's rights were traded from the Rapids to the Columbus Crew, and he switched teams.
