I remember Mark Stein hit the bar and for whatever reason I was in the 18-yard box and put in the rebound. I don’t think anyone in the ground was more surprised than me”. He was only in once First Division game in the 1993-94 season. He was able to finish his playing career with just one Second Division appearance as a Bournemouth player under the supervision of the rookie director Tony Pulis. After his departure from Dean Court he returned to the Victoria Ground to become a coach.

Kevan joined the coaching staff at Stockport County in December 2010. He then joined Hereford United in January 2011. He re-joined former club Stoke City in June 2011, taking the position of academy team manager; this was despite signing a new contract with Hereford earlier in the month. He left Stoke in May 2013.

The first time he played with Stoke came at the Potteries derby against Port Vale in a 0-0 draw at Vale Park on 3 February. Stoke were dropped from the Second Division at the end of the 1989-90 season. He was dropped from the team between 1990 and 1991 with eight appearances, and also spending time on loan with Maidstone United in the Fourth Division. Kevan was not able to make an impression in the first team at Watling Street either, featuring only three times for”The “Stones”. The new Stoke director Lou Macari moved Kevan into the defensive midfield in 1991-92. He was involved in 57 games and also at the final of the associate members’ cup in 1992, where City defeated Stockport County 1-0 at Wembley. This would however be his last season as a vital fixture for the team’s first eleven players because the next season would be extremely difficult for central midfield positions including Paul Ware, Carl Beeston and Steve Foley all in contention.
