Biography

A product of the club's youth policy, Stephen made his debut in December 1987. Frail could play at either right-back or right midfield.

Unfortunately for 'Shaggy' injury plagued his time at Dens, but he still made 116 appearances before following in a familiar trail made by Dundee players in the nineties by moving to Hearts in 1994 for £150,000.

Again though, injury plagued his fifteen months at Tynecastle before he moved south to Tranmere for £90,000 early in 1998. At Prenton Park, he will be best remember as the substitute for a player who had been sent off against Sunderland in the FA Cup.

Released by John Aldridge in February 2000, he returned north to play with St. Johnstone. Then at the start of this season, he moved to Morton and figured regularly in the Cappielow ranks before retiring.
