Steven Drench is an English professional footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Morecambe.

Steven began his career at Blackburn Rovers, making several appearances for the England Schoolboys side whilst at the club.

Following an injury to Ryan Robinson in 2005, Steven joined Morecambe on loan as goalkeeping cover. Steven impressed during his loan period, and his loan was extened to the end of the 2006-7 season.

Steven began the 2006-7 season competing with Robinson for the starting goalkeeper’s spot, and was confirmed at the club’s first choice goalkeeper when Ryan Robinson left to join Forest Green .

Steven’s impressive displays over the course of the season helped Morecambe to reach the Conference play-offs. Steven was injured in a challenge with York City’s Clayton Donaldson, forcing him to miss the play-off final against Exeter City.

Following this injury, Drench struggled to regain his first team place following the signing of Joe Lewis on loan at Morecambe, and to get match fit, Drench went on loan to Southport during the January 2008 transfer window. His loan was extended past the initial month to the end of the season and the play-offs.
