Career
2011/2012 season
He made it to the main draw of a ranking event for the first time in 2012, by beating Mike Dunn 5–3 in the wildcard round for the German Masters. He played Matthew Stevens in the first round, but was comfortably beaten 5–1.[7] Despite not being on the main snooker tour Steadman played in all 12 of the minor-ranking Players Tour Championship events throughout the season, reaching the last 32 on four occasions. These performances were enough to see him earn a place back on the tour for the 2012–13 season. Steadman decided to accept the invitation back on to the main tour only at the last minute, as he felt snooker was distracting him from his main career as a professional artist.[8]
2012/2013 season
Steadman took advantage of a new flatter structure used in the qualifiers for the 2013 Welsh Open, whereby he would only need to win two matches to reach the venue by defeating Yu Delu and Jamie Burnett with the loss of only one frame.[9] However, in Newport he was whitewashed 0–4 by Stuart Bingham.[10] Steadman played in all ten PTC's this season, with his best results being three last 32 defeats to finish 65th on the Order of Merit.[11] His season ended when he lost 6–10 to Kurt Maflin in the second round of World Championship Qualifying to finish the year ranked world number 83.[12][13]
2017/2018 season
Steadman reached the third round of three ranking events throughout the 2017–18 season. However, he wasn't able to accumulate enough ranking points by the end of the season and was thus relegated from the tour. He entered 2018 Q School in a bid to re-enter the professional snooker tour.[31] He did so defeating Adam Duffy 4–0 in the final round of the second event.[32]
2020/2021 season
Steadman this season competed as an amateur and in the Shoot Out he made it to the semi-finals.[33] His previous best in a ranking event was the last 16. He did not participate in qualifying for the World Championships.[34]
