Stiepermann began his career 1998 in the youth of Borussia Dortmund and was in the 2008–09 season promoted to the reserve team.[2][3] He earned his first professional cap for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga against VfL Wolfsburg on 13 December 2009[4] and scored in the return match on 1 May 2010 his first Bundesliga goal against VfL Wolfsburg.[5]
On 24 May 2011, Stiepermann joined Alemannia Aachen on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season.
On 29 May 2012, Stiepermann moved to Energie Cottbus, signed a contract until June 2015.[6] The transfer fee was believed to be €200,000.[7]
After Cottbus were relegated from the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 2013–14 season, Stiepermann used a release clause to leave the club on a free transfer. He signed a three-year contract with fellow 2. Bundesliga club SpVgg Greuther Fürth.[8]
On 16 June 2016, Stiepermann joined VfL Bochum.[9]
On 6 August 2017, Stiepermann joined Championship club Norwich City on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[10]
Stiepermann had a troubled first season in England, moved out to play left-back for much of the season before a Hernia prematurely ended his first term with Norwich.[11]
After rumors of a potential return to Germany before the 2018/19 season,[12] Stiepermann played a crucial role in Norwich's surprise Championship winning season; contributing with 10 goals and 8 assists as he returned to his preferred attacking midfielder position.
In May 2019, he signed a new three-year contract[13] but a disappointing season in the Premier League followed as Norwich were instantly relegated back to the Championship.
During Norwich’s title-winning 2020/21 EFL Championship season, Stiepermann played a very limited part. This was due to illness as well as the permanent signing of Kieran Dowell from Everton, who was preferred in the attacking midfield role. On 1 July 2021, it was announced that Stiepermann’s contract with the club had been cancelled by mutual consent.
On 17 August 2021, Stiepermann returned to Germany, signing a one-year deal with SC Paderborn.[14]
In summer 2022, Stiepermann joined Regionalliga West club Wuppertaler SV.
