Stenner began his career with his hometown club, Yeovil Town, in 1951. After two seasons he left to do his National Service, and then stepped up to the Football League to sign for Bristol City. A year later, without making any first team appearances, he moved to Home Park, where he again found his chances on the wing limited. Similar short spells followed at Norwich City, Exeter City and Oldham Athletic, before he returned to Yeovil to finish his career.

From Steve Rhodes in Romsey, Hampshire on 07/01/2014 ...
Arthur Stenner popped up again at Home Park in 1961, playing in the Public Practice game at the start of the 1961-62 season. It seems to have been a combination of new manager Neil Dougall's admiration for Stenner's determined belief in his ability to establish himself as a professional, plus a shortage of players. Predominately left footed, Stenner played for the 'Possibles' on the right wing. During his earlier spell at Home Park Stenner and Dougall had played together in four first team games. Enthusiasm did not prove enough and Stenner was not engaged after the 1961 curtain-raiser.
