Playing career

edit

Stewart played his entire junior career with the Kurnell Stingrays who dominated the competition through the junior grades during his time there. In 2021, he was signed by Cronulla where he was named Junior Representative Player of the Year in 2022 after starring in their Harold Matthews Cup team.[4] In 2022, Stewart was signed by the Canberra Raiders after a meeting with Canberra coach Ricky Stuart.

In 2023, Stewart played 18 games for Canberra's NSW Cup outfit, scoring nine tries and providing eight assists with his electric style earning plenty of plaudits. At the conclusion of the 2023 NRL season, Stewart re-signed with the club on a four-year deal which expires at the end of 2026 season with an option for 2027.[5]

Stewart made his first grade debut for Canberra against the Gold Coast Titans in his side's 21−20 golden point extra-time victory at Canberra Stadium in round 6 of the 2024 NRL season.[6]
