Steven began his career at Everton but had to leave Goodison in search of regular first-team action. After brief loan spells at Carlisle and Oldham, he joined Bradford City on a permanent basis in 2004 on a free transfer. He went onto make 130 appearances during his time in Yorkshire, scoring a commendable 15 goals from his midfield position.

Although, the midfielder prides himself on scoring goals, injuries hindered his chances last season but not before he scored the club's Goal of The Season against Swindon in September with a stunning volley. An ankle injury sustained in October kept him sidelined until January when he returned to make a regular spot in midfield his own.

Schumacher will be hoping to be over his niggling injuries now and will once again be looking to cement a starting role in Steve Holland's team.
