Kevin Bruce Stevens (born (1987-01-30)30 January 1987 in Virginia, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Free State Cheetahs. His regular position is loosehead prop.
Career
Youth
After representing the Free State Cheetahs at the 2005 Under-18 Craven Week competition, he progressed through the different youth structures at the team, playing for the Free State U19 side in 2006 and for the Free State U21 side in 2007 and 2008.
Free State Cheetahs
Stevens first appeared for the senior side when he played in a compulsory friendly between the Pumas and the Free State Cheetahs prior to the 2007 Currie Cup Premier Division. He was named in the squad for the 2008 Vodacom Cup, but failed to make an appearance. His first senior appearance in a competitive first class match came during the 2009 Vodacom Cup competition, when he started their match against the Border Bulldogs, one of five appearances in that competition.
Griffons
Stevens failed to break into the Currie Cup squad at the Free State Cheetahs and decided to join their near-neighbours the Griffons prior to the 2009 Currie Cup First Division season. He remained in Welkom for the next four years, playing regularly in the Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup competitions, making 72 appearances for the side. He helped the Griffons reach the semi-finals of the First Division for four years in a row between 2009 and 2012, although they never won it or appeared in the promotion play-off matches.
In 2012, he also made two appearances for Varsity Cup side UFS Shimlas.
Griquas
In 2011, Stevens also played in one match on loan to the Griquas, his first match in the Premier Division of the Currie Cup. He played off the bench just after the hour mark against former side the Free State Cheetahs and helped his side to a 23–20 victory in Kimberley.
Return to Free State Cheetahs
Despite announcing his intention to leave the Griffons at the end of 2013 to a career outside of rugby, he was subsequently included in the Free State XV side that played in the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition. He started in all their matches during the season, also scoring one try against Western Province in Cape Town.
