An ex-Marist College Ashgrove pupil, Stewart was a winger and occasional fullback, often utilised as a goal-kicker during his first-grade career with Wests, where he won back to back premierships in 1975 and 1976.[1]
Stewart was a Queensland interstate representative player in the early 1970s and made one Test match appearance for Australia, kicking five goals in a win over New Zealand at Lang Park in 1972.[2]
Retiring as Wests top all-time points-scorer, Stewart was named on the wing in the club's Team of Century in 2015.[3]
