Career

Stam came through the youth ranks of vv SRC from his hometown Schagen, and was signed to the youth department of AZ. He never came further than the reserve team, and was loaned out to Cambuur Leeuwarden in the 2006–07 season. He made his professional debut in the Eerste Divisie on 1 September 2006, in an away match against VVV-Venlo, coming on as a substitute for Shutlan Axwijk in the 76th minute.^[1] The game ended in a 3–2 defeat for Cambuur.

The following season, Stam was loaned out to Eredivisie side SBV Excelsior.^[2] Playing only 7 league matches for Excelsior, the loan period was never considered a success. Stam was signed on an amateur-contract by Eerste Divisie side Stormvogels Telstar on 2 September 2008.^[3] He played 24 matches that season. After two seasons for Telstar, he made a transfer to FC Volendam in the summer of 2010.
