Morpeth have won 11 of their 16 League games so far this season and are just eight points adrift unbeaten runaway leaders Whitley Bay Sporting Club as they continue their promotion push into the second half of the season.
Stevens currently tops the scoring charts in the Northern Alliance Second Division ahead of Sporting Club’s James Littlejohn who is also on a good run finding the back of the net.
Morpeth host tenth-placed Gosforth Bohemians Reserves on Saturday and manager Ross Donnelly is looking for his side to continue the form that has seen them win four on the bounce in the League – netting 23 times in those games.
