In total Stead made 42 league appearances scoring 6 goals in the 2002/03 season.

He scored four goals in three games at the start of the 2003–04 season, igniting interest from larger clubs. 2 goals came in Town's opening game of the 2003/04 season in their 2–2 draw at home to Cambridge United. Stead went on to score two goals in a game on three further occasions for The Terriers during the first part of the 2003/04 season, with his other braces coming against Northampton Town on 13 September in a 3–0 home win, in a dramatic 3–3 away draw at Mansfield Town on 22 November and then again in a 3–1 home win over Doncaster Rovers on 3 January 2004.

He scored 18 goals for Huddersfield in 2003–04, with 16 of them coming in the league, before moving to Premier League side Blackburn Rovers in the January transfer window. His last game for Huddersfield came in their 2–0 win over Boston United on 17 January 2004.
