Stone made his debut in county cricket for his native Norfolk against Bedfordshire in the 2011 Minor Counties Championship.

Having been a part of the Northamptonshire Cricket Academy since 2009, and played Second XI cricket for the county since 2010, Stone made his first team debut for Northamptonshire in a Twenty20 match against Durham in the Friends Provident t20. He was dismissed in the match for a first-ball duck by Paul Collingwood, the third victim of Collingwood's hat-trick. In 2012, Stone made his List A debut for the county against Warwickshire in the Clydesdale Bank 40, and his first-class debut against Yorkshire in the County Championship. Stone would regularly play for Northants through the 2012 season and consequently signed a new 2-year deal with the county in July 2012.

Earlier in the season he appeared for Norfolk in two MCCA Knockout Trophy matches against Shropshire and Wiltshire.

Stone, alongside fellow Northants youngster Ben Duckett, was called up to the England Under-19 squad for their tour to South Africa in 2013. This was on the back of his performances for Northants in the second half of the 2012 season.

Early in the 2016 season he suffered a serious knee injury, while celebrating the wicket of Moeen Ali, which caused him to miss the rest of the season. Nonetheless, in July he signed a three-year contract to play for Warwickshire.
