Career
[edit]Although born in Kaiapoi, Stewart played for the City club in Whangārei.
He mainly played as a centre.[4]
He represented Auckland between 1910 and 1915.
His two All Black test matches came as a result of two tours being made at once, the All Blacks tour of North America (which he was not selected for) and Australia's tour of New Zealand.[5]
Stewart played in two of the three test matches during the tour. Both of which were played on the wing. He did not score any points as an All Black.[4][5]
Stewart also played for the North Island against the South in 1914, however he wasn't picked to go on the tour of Australia.[4][5]
