Stephen Paul Pearson played a key role in helping Kerala Blasters reach the finals of the Indian Super League in the maiden season by making the holding midfielder role his own. He did not contribute much in terms of goals and assists but managed 799 passes in 17 games.
However, he could manage only 391 passes in 11 games in 2016 with Atletico de Kolkata. Pearson had one of the best pass/game averages in the first season with 47 passes per game but it dropped to 35 passes per game when he donned the red and white. He did not impress his other suiters as well as his Scottish club Motherwell released him after 17 games with them in 2017 and he is currently a free agent.
