Stevenson attended Balwearie High School in his home town of Kirkcaldy.
He can play as a full back or a midfielder. He is currently the longest serving player at the club, having made his debut in September 2005. He joined the Hibernian youth academy aged 14 and played for the Scotland schoolboys team in 2003.
He made his competitive debut for Hibernian in a Scottish League Cup tie at Ayr United in September 2005, but did not make his first Scottish Premier League appearance until the opening day of the 2006-2007 season.
Stevenson became a first-team regular under the management of John Collins, and he was named man of the match in the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final victory. The goal came after more than 100 appearances without one, and Stevenson admitted to not knowing what to do in celebration.
This came during a season when Hibs struggled to avoid relegation and Stevenson admitted that there were few candidates for the fans to choose from. Pat Fenlon, who made Stevenson team captain for one game, became Stevenson"s sixth manager in seven years at Hibs during 2011-2012.
His number of appearances during the 2011-2012 season meant that his contract was automatically extended for another year.
Early in the 2012-2013 season, Stevenson suffered a broken toe during an Edinburgh derby match. He returned to the first team three weeks ahead of schedule. Stevenson provided cover at left-back for defensive injuries and he earned praise from Pat Fenlon for his performance in an Edinburgh derby victory in the 2012-2013 Scottish Cup.
Stevenson was also used at right-back during the 2012-2013 season.
He agreed a new two-year contract with Hibs in March 2013. In December 2013, Stevenson recorded his 200th competitive appearance for Hibs.
At this time, manager Terry Butcher deployed Stevenson as a left midfielder. Stevenson made his 250th appearance for the club in the fifth round of the 2014-2015 Scottish Cup, becoming only the 60th player to record as many appearances since 1885.
During the 2015 close season, Stevenson signed a two-year contract with Hibs.
