Professional

[edit]

On January 19, 2018, Steeves was selected 43rd overall in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft by Houston Dynamo.[6] He signed with Houston on February 28, 2018.[7] He would make his MLS and Dynamo debut on March 31, coming on as a sub in a 2–0 defeat to the New England Revolution.[8] Steeves was loaned to the Dynamo's USL affiliate, Rio Grande Valley, to get more game time. However at the end of May he suffered a hip injury that forced him to miss the rest of the year.[9] Steeves was released by Houston at the end of their 2018 season.[10]

On January 17, 2019, Steeves joined USL Championship side Hartford Athletic ahead of their inaugural season.[11] He made his debut for Hartford on March 9, coming on as a sub in a 2–0 loss to Atlanta United 2.[12] On April 27, Steeves picked up his first assist for Hartford in a 4–1 loss to North Carolina FC.[13] On May 4, Hartford played their first home match in club history when they hosted Charlotte Independence. Charlotte struck first, but Steeves quickly answered by scoring his first goal for the club as he chipped the keeper. Hartford would hold on for the 1–1 draw, the first point in club history.[14] On July 17, Steves scored his second goal for Hartford in a 3–4 loss to Swope Park Rangers.[15] He re-signed with Hartford for the 2020 season on January 15, 2020.[16] He did not make any appearances during the 2020 season[17]
