Career

Early career

Sterry began his career with Newcastle United, where he progressed through the youth ranks at St James' Park and signed a professional contract in July 2015. He made his Premier League debut on 15 May 2016, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute in place of Moussa Sissoko during a 5–1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur.[3]

On 31 August 2016, he joined Coventry City on loan until January. Sterry scored his first professional goal for Coventry in an FA Cup tie against Morecambe on 6 November 2016.[4]

On 31 January 2018, Sterry joined Crewe Alexandra on loan until the end of the season.[5] He made his Crewe debut on 3 February 2018 at Notts County. He returned to Crewe for a further loan spell in January 2019,[6] but the loan spell was cut short after Sterry made just one appearance (against Northampton Town on 2 March)[7] for Crewe.[8]

On 23 June 2020, Sterry was released by Newcastle United.[9] He joined Northern Premier League side South Shields four months later.[10]

Hartlepool United

On 21 December 2020, Sterry signed for National League club Hartlepool United.[11] He made his debut for Hartlepool the following day in a 4–0 win against Stockport County.[12] On 22 January 2021, he decided to stay with the National League club until the end of the season.[13]

During the 2020–21 season, Sterry played predominantly at right wing back; forming a partnership with Newcastle loanee Lewis Cass.[14] He started in the 2021 National League play-off final for Hartlepool as they drew 1–1 with Torquay United. In the resulting penalty shoot-out, Sterry scored his penalty as Hartlepool were promoted back to League Two.[15] Sterry described the 2020–21 season at Hartlepool as his most enjoyable year by far after his struggles with mental health earlier in his career.[14]

On 12 July 2021, he signed a new two-year contract with Hartlepool.[16] On 11 September 2021, Sterry scored his first Hartlepool goal in a 1–0 victory over Bristol Rovers.[17] Over Christmas 2022, Sterry helped to raise over £1,500 for a local foodbank.[18] He was later nominated as Hartlepool's PFA Community Champion for his efforts.[18]

At the end of the 2022–23 season, Sterry was offered a new deal with Hartlepool but he turned it down in order to explore other options.[19] He made 102 appearances in all competitions for Pools and scored on his final appearance in a 3–1 win against Barrow on 29 April 2023, a day which saw the club relegated back to the National League after results went against them.[20]

Doncaster Rovers

On 26 May 2023, Sterry signed for Doncaster Rovers on a two-year contract.[21]
