Having previously shared a table with world champions such as Mark Selby and John Higgins, Steven has been through it all in the game.

Now looking to regain his tour card, which allows players to compete in the world snooker circuit, the 28-year-old has found a new training space at Lincoln Snooker Club.

He said: “I previously had an empty snooker room up at RAF Waddington, but when Storm Babet hit, the ceiling caved in on the snooker room and it all got shut down, so I needed a new place to train.”

That’s when Phil Cross, owner of Lincoln Snooker Club got in touch, and the pair struck up an agreement for Steven to move in and use the facilities to practice.

“It’s been great to have Steven at the club. I’ve been trying to get him here for quite some time and circumstances pushed him in my direction”, said Phil.

“He’s a great asset to the club, and he’s inspiring the next generation of snooker players from Lincoln.”

Steven has also started coaching sessions at the club. “It’s a proud thing that I’m the only pro from Lincoln, but it’s something I want to address. I’ve been there, done it and got the t-shirt, so it’s knowledge I feel I can pass on to others now.”

“When I was given the opportunity as a youngster, I just fell in love with the game, and I hope to be able to give that to somebody else.”
