Stephen "Steve" James Mildenhall (born May 13, 1978 in Swindon) is an English professional football goalkeeper, currently playing for Southend United in the English Football League One.

Career

Mildenhall's professional career began with his with hometown club Swindon Town, with whom he made thirty-seven appearances in six seasons, before securing a £150,000 transfer to Notts County. Mildenhall played 91 games for the Magpies, scoring one goal (a free-kick against Mansfield Town in a League Cup tie), prior to making a move to Oldham Athletic in December 2005. He made six appearances for the club before breaking his finger, and he subsequently lost his place in the team.

In the summer of 2005, Mildenhall moved to Grimsby Town, and was ever present in his only season at Blundell Park. Failure to achieve promotion to League One in the 2005–06 season saw Grimsby manager Russell Slade leave the club, and Mildenhall also departed, joining his former manager at Yeovil Town. During his time at The Glovers Mildenhall established himself as the club's first choice keeper and became popular amongst their fans as the side reached the League One Play-Off Final in 2007. However, his second season at Yeovil was disturbed through injury. In mid-September he injured a muscle around his hip against Leyton Orient, which saw him out of action for more than a month. On his return to the first team in late October he was unable to help Yeovil as they succumbed to a 2-1 home defeat to Swansea City and Mildenhall was on the sidelines again after injuring his knee ligaments after a clash with Tommy Mooney in the 2-0 away defeat to Walsall in early February.

Mildenhall was voted south-west footballer of the year for 2007.

It was announced on June 6, 2008 that he signed a 3 year contract at Southend United.
