Career

Born in Brentford, Stentiford started his career with non-league Kingstonian in the Athenian League.[2] He impressed at right half and he earned a move north to Football League side Huddersfield Town.[2] Without making an appearance for the "Terriers", he joined Stoke and played eight matches during the 1923–24 season and three more in the following campaign before joining Stockport County in 1924.[2] He spent two years at Edgeley Park and returned to the south with Guildford United.[2]
