Solihull Moors have announced a major contractual decision, following confirmation that playmaker Jack Stevens has triggered a one-year extension onto his current deal with the club.
Matt Taylor’s side have struggled for form in 2025 and it has seen them fall into the bottom half of the National League standings ahead of Saturday’s home fixture against Yeovil Town.
However, the Moors will be on the receiving end of a transfer boost following Friday’s reveal that playmaker Jack Stevens has extended his stay with the National League side, with his previous deal due to expire this summer.
Stevens triggers boost for the Moors
The reveal of Jack Stevens’ contract news will come as a major boost to Solihull Moors supporters, especially following the difficulties that the club have faced on the pitch since the turn of the year.
After beating local rivals Tamworth 4-1 on New Year’s Eve, Solihull picked up just one point from their next nine league matches and underwent a managerial change after Andy Whing moved on to Barrow AFC.
With the club sat 13th in the National League, news that the clubs star asset is staying contracted to the side will be a much-needed boost.
How has he fared this season?
Following a successful 2023/24 campaign with Solihull Moors, Stevens came into the current season full of determination to pick up where he left off but injuries have effected him this season.
Regardless of that, Stevens has still managed to better his previous season’s tally by contributing to 16 goals in 27 league appearances.
The 24-year-old has scored 12 goals, most recently against Sutton United earlier this month.
Could this foresee a summer exit?
As already stated, Stevens’ previous deal was due to expire at the end of the season and that would have allowed him to leave on a free transfer should that be his preferred choice.
However, the triggered option means he will now be subject to a transfer fee should a team want to sign him this summer.
Recently, Solihull Moors have allowed both Joe Sbarra and Andy Dallas to depart for free – meaning the fact Stevens’ won’t be joining that group this summer will be a welcomed boost for the club.
Of course, his future (as almost every player in the country) isn’t decided beyond the summer but him being under contract allows the football club to receive a bigger fee, protecting their long term interests.
Solihull fans, how happy are you with this news?
