Steven David Old (born 17 February 1986) is a New Zealand footballer who is unattached after playing as a defender for East Kilbride in the Lowland League.[2][3]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

He was released by A-League club Wellington Phoenix at the end of the 2007/08 season.[4] He formerly played for the Newcastle United Jets where he covered for Craig Deans who was in the USA. Prior to joining the Jets, Old attended St. John's University (NY) and played two years of football there.

Old was training with Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock since 22 January 2009, awaiting his work permit to sign for that team. On 30 March 2009, he signed a three-year contract with Kilmarnock after receiving his permission to play.[5][6]

In the final weeks of 2010, Old had a loan spell at Cowdenbeath in which he made four appearances. Following his loan spell at Cowdenbeath, Old struggled to make a first team appearance under manager Mixu Paatelainen and Kenny Shiels. In May 2011, Old was released by the club.

In July 2011 Old went on pre-season tour to South Africa with Perth Glory with a view of getting a contract with the A-League club.[7]

On 13 February 2012, Old joined Conference South club Basingstoke Town on non-contract terms after he had been training with them for a couple of months.[8] Old made his debut, the next day, in a 2–2 draw against Salisbury City.[9]

On 28 February 2013, Old signed for China League One side Shijiazhuang Yongchang Junhao on transfer deadline day in China; replacing Vlado Jeknić who injured a week before.

With Shijiazhuang, Old's side unsuccessfully faced 2013 Chinese Super League runners-up Shandong Luneng[10] but finished mid-table following the club's relocation from Fujian. Old scored in the final game of the season against Yanbian White Tigers.

On 13 November 2015, he signed up with the Swedish club GAIS.[11] After one goal in 33 league appearances he left the club in the summer of 2017.[12]

On 27 July 2017, Old joined English Football League 2 side Morecambe on a one-year deal, subject to international clearance. Steven would wear the number 5 shirt.[13]

On 2 July 2020, it was announced that Old had left Morecambe having turned down the offer of a further one-year contract; in order to return to Scotland to be closer to his family.[14]

Lowland League club East Kilbride announced the signing of Old on 24 July 2020.[2]
