On 20 June 2014, Wells signed for League Two club Stevenage for a reported fee of £25,000. After signing, he said "I started at Brentford and through my stupidity I threw it away.

He was a virtual ever-present during the 2012–13 season, making 43 appearances and scoring three goals.

Wells departed the club after the season, after making 116 appearances and scoring six goals during his three seasons with the Iron.

Wells' career came to a halt on 27 April 2011 when he was one of a group of Brentford supporters charged with affray and sentenced to 12 months in prison for his involvement in a fight between Brentford and Leyton Orient supporters outside London's Liverpool Street station in May 2010. He also received a banning order from football grounds for seven years. He was released on 6 October 2011.

Wells had a solid 2008–09 season, making 42 appearances and scoring three goals, helping Hampton to a second-place finish. He could bring them no luck in the playoffs, as Hampton lost 3–2 in the final to Hayes & Yeading United. Wells made 32 appearances during the 2010–11 season and scored three goals. He made over 260 appearances during his Hampton career.

Wells signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Hampton & Richmond Borough in 2004. In the 2004–05 season, the club missed out on a playoff place on goal difference.

In 2005–06, Wells made 35 appearances and scored two goals as Hampton finished fifth and suffered a playoff final defeat to Fisher Athletic.

He was also made captain of the club.

Wells began his career as a youth at Brentford and he embarked on a scholarship at the beginning of the 2001–02 season. His first involvement with the first team came on 20 September 2003, when he was named as a substitute for a 2–1 Second Division win over Hartlepool United. He was an unused substitute for the next two games and made his debut in a 3–0 league defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on 4 October 2003. With the game already lost, Wells replaced Leo Roget after 81 minutes. He made no further appearances and was released by manager Martin Allen at the end of the 2003–04 season.
