Luca Stephenson was born into football on 17th of September, 2003 in England. The natural defender, who serves as a right back at Dundee United in Scotland, has etched his name in the annals of European football in a relatively short span. Clocking in at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and tipping the scale at 11st 9lb (74kg), he omnipresently wears a number 21 jersey at his club.
Stephenson currently commands a respectable market value of a round sum of £715k, according to Transfermarkt, and is witness to the fleeting moments before the expiration of his contract with Dundee United, set for the end of May in 2025.
Stephenson took his first step into professional football in September of 2018, not as an inconspicuous figure, but as a trainee at Liverpool FC in the illustrious Premier League. A few seasons later, in 2023, he was loaned out to Barrow, one of the competing clubs in the League Two. His time there was transient, as by June 2024, he had returned to his former club at Liverpool.
However, major changes were afoot, and by August of that year, he packed his bags for Scotland to feature on loan for Dundee United in the Premiership. In his initial season of 2024-2025, Stephenson swiftly clocked 31 first team appearances, finding the net three times in league matches. His second season started on a rather quiet note, registering just one league appearance for Dundee United in the 2025-2026 season. He however lent his talents to Dundee United's 2025 - 2026 League Cup run.
On completion of his brief sojourn at Dundee United, Liverpool welcomed him home once again in June 2025. Yet, as the saying goes, 'History tends to repeat itself', Stephenson found himself back at Dundee United, on loan, just two months later. He continued to bolster his record, with another three goals in 31 appearances in his return season (2024 - 2025). His single league appearance during the 2025 - 2026 season was far from his last for Dundee United. Further burnishing his burgeoning career, Stephenson made his mark in the Scottish Cup run of the 2024 - 2025 season for Dundee United.
