Jevons netted 15 goals in 35 appearances which aided Hyde's survival in the Conference but on 21 May 2013 he signed for Stockport County who had suffered relegation at the expense of Hyde. In 2014, he announced his retirement to focus on his coaching career. He played his last professional match for Stockport County in a 3–1 win over Harrogate Town in which he scored two goals.
