Club career
Stobbs joined the Academy at Sheffield Wednesday at the age of eight, and signed his first professional contract with the club in March 2014. He made his senior team debut on 26 April, coming on for Joe Mattock 60 minutes into a 3–1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers at Hillsborough, in what was the final home game of the 2013–14 season. However he suffered ankle ligament damage in a friendly at Matlock Town in the 2014–15 pre-season, which left him having to regain his fitness in order to try and force his way into manager Stuart Gray's first team plans. He had to wait until the last day of the 2015–16 season to make his second appearance for the "Owls", when he came on as a 79th-minute substitute for Atdhe Nuhiu in a 2–1 loss at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 7 May 2016. He signed a new one-year contract in June 2017 after captaining the U23 team to the Professional Development League 2 North title and National Championship in 2016–17.
On 17 August 2017, Stobbs joined newly-relegated EFL League Two club Port Vale on loan for the 2017–18 season; manager Michael Brown said that "[chief scout] Darren Wrack has worked very hard on it and he is a good, exciting, young player".
Style of play
Speaking in August 2014, Sheffield Wednesday manager Stuart Gray said that Stobbs is "one of those who runs at defenders in one-versus-one situations and he’s got a great habit of putting the ball between the posts for someone to score". Stobbs himself stated that "I’ve got a bit of pace and I like to take people on, I like to get to the byline, get crosses into the box and, where I can, I try to get a few goals".
