 An outside right, Stewart began his professional career with Hibernian in 1904, replacing John Stewart (no relation) who had been part of the squad that won the Scottish Football League in 1903. While playing for Hibs at club level, Stewart made his Scotland debut in a 2–0 defeat by Wales at Tynecastle in the 1906 British Home Championship, and then also played in the 2–1 victory against England in the same tournament. After two good years in Leith, Stewart was transferred to Manchester City at the end of the 1905–06 season for £650, which was a substantial transfer fee (the record at the time, for the transfer of Alf Common, was £1000). He won two further international caps during his time with Manchester City. He made over 100 league appearances for City, experiencing a relegation in 1909 followed by promotion as winners of the 1909–10 Football League Second Division, before ending his career with short spells at Partick Thistle, Stalybridge Celtic and Merthyr Town, settling in the Manchester area.
