Athletic career
Stansfield played in the youth of Cullompton Rangers before joining Elmore FC . After completing trial training at several higher-tier playing clubs, he joined Yeovil Town in Conference National in 2001 . In the first year at his new club with eight goals this season he was a top performer, he had to pause almost the entire season in the following season after a complicated broken leg. Therefore, he contributed to the club's promotion to the Third Division , at the time the lowest division of league football, with only one league assignment . After his recovery he was a substitute player and was mainly used as a substitute in his first professional season.
Therefore, Stansfield returned to the Conference National and joined Hereford United . There he convinced as a regular goalscorer and led the club with 19 goals this season in the promotion round, in which the club failed in the semi-finals. The following season started disappointingly for the striker as he was unable to score for a long time. In the meantime without a regular place in the attack line, he fought his way back to the team towards the end of the season and rose with the club at the end of the season in league football.
However, Stansfield left the club and hired at Exeter City in the Conference National. Again a regular goalscorer, he made his third promotion to league football with the club in 2008. In Football League Two , he scored ten goals this season and was one of the guarantees that the club marched through to the third-rate Football League One . Here, too, he was one of the dangerous players and scored seven goals this season by April.
In April 2010, Stansfield was diagnosed with colon cancer . He died of the disease in August.
