Stephen made his Premiership debut, against Charlton Athletic, and could almost scored within the first 40 seconds of the game.[4] In his second appearance, a match against Aston Villa at Bramall Lane, he did score his first goal for the club.[5] Quinn ended the season by winning the young player of the season award, his excellent performances were also rewarded with a new contract. Quinn looks like being a real quality player for The Blades in the years to come.[citation needed]
