## Career

### Pre-HTU

It is unclear as to what Stamp's prior footballing experience was before playing for HTU.

### HTU

2016–18
Stamp took part in season 1 of the Hashtag Academy in early 2017, reaching episode 4 before being eliminated from the process. Despite this, the defender would soon be signed to the squad. His 1st appearance for *The Tags* came midway through the year in a 6–2 win at the Bodymoor Heath Training Ground against Aston Villa Staff. He came off the bench in that encounter, as he would again in subsequent fixtures with Pitchero United and Real Oviedo XI before making his opening start for the club versus Eibar XI as they won 3–0. In total, Stamp featured 7 times as chapter one came to a close.

2018–19
Ahead of 2018–19, HTU moved into the non-league system and Stamp was 1 of a bunch of players to remain with the side under new manager Jay Devereux. He was selected in pre-season friendlies with Romford, Bournemouth and Loughborough University, prior to making his 1st competitive appearance for *The Tags* on 4 August 2018 in their Thurlow Nunn League - Division One South opening day defeat at Little Oakley - as the defender marked the occasion with his 1st goal for the club, after heading home Hussein Isa's free-kick to net HTU's first-ever non-league goal. By the season's completion, Stamp had taken his overall HTU match tally to 30 as they won promotion as champions.

2019–20
Stamp would feature 4 times during the pre-season campaign in games with Anstey Nomads, Burnham, Bowers & Pitsea and Concord Rangers across July 2019. In the succeeding September, the defender participated in official matches with Halstead Town (on 3 September in the Essex Senior Cup), Sawbridgeworth Town (on 7 September in the Essex Senior League) and Brentwood Town (on 11 September in the Essex Thames-Side Trophy). He would appear as an unused substitute in 6 additional matches up until November, though wouldn't come on at any point nor would he play for the senior team again. From 2017–18, Stamp had also featured for the Hashtag United Sunday team, as he also did in 2018–19 and 2019–20.

2020–21
Stamp would continue to appear for the Hashtag United Sunday side in the COVID-19 pandemic-enforced curtailed season of 2020–21, as he appeared a total of 42 times across 3 seasons for them.

2021–22
In 2021–22, Stamp made 3 appearances for Kiernan Hughes-Mason's reserves. After making his bow at that level on 28 January 2022 versus Sawbridgeworth Town, he would appear further against Brentwood Town on 25 February and in a win over White Ensign on 2 May - all of which occurred in cup action, as the latter game won them the Len Cordell Memorial Trophy plate.

2022–23
Stamp continued to play at reserve level across the 2022–23 season, as he notched 3 goals (versus Cannons Wood Reserves, West Essex Development and Saffron Walden Town Reserves) in 18 games for Ricky Evans' team throughout the season.

## Personal Life

Along with his playing connection to HTU, Stamp has also worked for the club - predominantly as part of their social media team, notably editing their match highlight videos since the 2021–22 season.
