Entre altres èxits destacats, quedà Subcampió d'Europa de motocròs en 250 cc el 1959, rere Rolf Tibblin, i guanyà el Motocross des Nations els anys 1952 i 1954 com a membre de l'equip britànic. Stonebridge començà pilotant per a l'equip oficial de Matchless de motocròs (anomenat aleshores scramble al Regne Unit) el 1950, i hi competí també en proves d'enduro. Aquell mateix any va guanyar una medalla d'or als ISDT, celebrats a (País de Gal·les). El 1951 disputà el primer Campionat britànic de motocròs, anomenat aleshores ACU Scramble Drivers' Star, i hi quedà tercer amb la Matchless. El 1954 ingressà a l'equip oficial de BSA, col·laborant al desenvolupament de la BSA Bantam de motocròs amb motor de dos temps. El 1957 canvià a l'equip de curses de Greeves, esdevenint-hi Director de Competició i Enginyer de Desenvolupament. Dos anys més tard, l'octubre de 1959 (quan feia poc que havia obtingut el seu Subcampionat d'Europa), es va morir en un accident de circulació a la carretera mentre anava de passatger al cotxe que conduïa el seu cap, Bert Greeves.
