Born inBeverley,Humberside, Stamp grew up inHessle, playing football from an early age for his local side Hessle Rangers.[citation needed] It was while playing for this club that Stamp was spotted by the manager ofPontefract Collieries.[citation needed] He signed for the West Yorkshire side and played only a handful of games before departing to play as a professional.[citation needed]
Stamp joinedScunthorpe United. Stamp signed a professional contract with the club at 17 years of age. Although he was keen to pursue his dream to be a professional footballer, he also continued his studies and stayed on at Hessle College to do A Levels in English Literature, Geography and P.E. He took part in the 1999 play-off final, when Scunthorpe United beatLeyton Orient 1–0. After four seasons at Scunthorpe, playing regularly in the reserve team and also making thirty starts for the first team, Stamp was transferred toScarborough. Scarborough reportedNorthampton Town tothe Football Association, after they made an alleged illegal approach for Stamp.[2] Towards the end of his time with Scunthorpe United, Stamp had a short trail atCarlisle United, scoring in a mid-season friendly away toWorkington which finished 2:2.
He spent a year at the club and scored 14 goals before joiningNorthampton Town for £50,000. During his time at Northampton there was a lot of upheaval at the club. In the space of just over a season there were three different managers and three different chairmen, with players being transferred at an alarming rate.

He scored 20 goals during the2003–04 season and helping to secure promotion for the club back intothe Football League.

Despite scoring 14 goals in the2005–06 season, Stamp felt he had fallen out of favour at the club due to the appointment of new manager,Mark Stimson.[citation needed] He signed a new contract with Stevenage in May 2006.[4]

He was transfer-listed by the club after their demotion from theConference Premier.[10]
Stamp re-signed for Victoria on a permanent deal, but would depart the club after playing 26 games, scoring 6 goals.
