Club career

Earlier in his career, Pace played for various Victorian teams, including South Melbourne, Essendon Royals and the Preston Lions. He has been described as a "utility" player,[1] having played as a midfielder as well as a central defender. He played in the latter position for the Preston Lions in their successful 2007 campaign, when they won the Victorian Premier League Championship.[2]

When the Melbourne Victory signed Pace in October 2007, coach Ernie Merrick said about him:[3]

"Steven reads the game well, has excellent speed, good distribution and possesses great maturity"

He made his first appearance for the Melbourne Victory against the Central Coast Mariners on 4 November 2007.[4] Pace departed the Victory in 2010, making 8 league appearances in his time there.

After leaving Victory, Pace joined Hume City FC and spent the following four and a half years with the Broadmeadows-based club.

In 2015, Pace joined Heidelberg United FC.
