Stephen Paul "Steve" Halford (born 21 September 1980) is an English footballer currently manager for Ashton United. He joined Mossley in July 2011 from Hyde, where he was also player-manager, before leaving the club in December 2011 and rejoining in January 2012 as player-manager. He has also played for Chester City, Accrington Stanley and Bury where he played in the Football League.
Born in Bury, Greater Manchester, he started his career at hometown club Bury where he played 5 games in the Football League, before joining Conference National side Chester City in October 2001. He later joined Accrington Stanley and then Droylsden, helping Droylsden to promotion into the Conference. On 9 December 2008 he scored the winning goal in Droylsden's FA Cup first-round tie with Chesterfield, taking Droylsden into the second round. In September 2010 Halford was released from Droylsden after five years at the club making 103 league appearances scoring 6 goals, a brief statement on the website read "we are sad to see Steve leave the club and we thank him for his services". Halford was also rejected following a trial with Notts County in 1993.
After his release from Droylsden in September 2010 he signed for their local rivals Hyde on 1 October 2010. He made his debut in a 3–1 win at Harrogate Town on 2 October 2010. He was made captain for the game against Harrogate Town on 6 November 2010 in the absence of the club captain and assistant manager, Scott McNiven. On 8 January 2011 he scored his first goal for Hyde in a 1–0 win over fellow struglers Stafford Rangers, coming from a header from a Shaun Whalley corner.
