Petersen signed with AGF on a free transfer on 1 January 2010. He played at AGF for seven years, in which he totalled 235 appearances and scored 35 goals. Petersen joined Silkeborg IF on 1 July 2017.{{cite news |title=Stephan Petersen skifter AGF ud med Silkeborg efter denne sæson |url=https://aarhus.lokalavisen.dk/nyheder/2017-01-23/-Stephan-Petersen-skifter-AGF-ud-med-Silkeborg-efter-denne-s%C3%A6son-833789.html |access-date=6 January 2021 |work=Lokalavisen Aarhus |date=23 January 2017 |language=Danish}} He left the club at the end of the 2018–19 season to join HB Køge.[https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/stephan-petersen-fortsaetter-i-hb-koege/ Stephan Petersen fortsætter i HB Køge], bold.dk, 15 May 2019
On 4 January 2021, Petersen signed with amateur club Karlslunde IF competing in the fourth-tier Denmark Series, effectively retiring from professional football.{{cite news |last1=Jensen |first1=Anders |title=Stephan Petersen skifter til ambitiøs DS-klub |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/stephan-petersen-skifter-til-ambitioes-ds-klub/ |access-date=6 January 2021 |work=bold.dk |date=4 January 2021 |language=Danish}} At the end of May 2021, in a game against Allerød FK, Petersen was badly injured in the knee and in July 2021 it was confirmed, that he had torn his cruciate ligament and therefore had retired for the last time.[https://ligabold.dk/stephan-petersen-om-grim-skade-er-faerdig/?fbclid=IwAR2j9Lx_CQHO5ZzTuOMWKxFGP2x458mZmiJYJ2YAmsE3_gkwAYc0fc98fzU Stephan Petersen om grim skade: Er færdig], ligabold.dk, 13 July 2021
