He made his Football League debut against Preston North End on 14 January 2012, playing the full match.[4] Following this he featured among the substitutes before getting his next appearance with a start away to Stevenage. He then followed this with a home debut in the 1–1 draw with Carlisle. His emergence as a first team player coincided with reported interested from fellow League One sides Charlton, Colchester and Stevenage.[5]

On 26 June 2015, having been released by Crewe at the end of the 2014–15 season, Stewart rejoined Wycombe Wanderers on a two-year deal.[8] On 13 July 2020, Stewart scored the first goal for Wycombe Wanderers as they won the EFL League One playoff final against Oxford United at Wembley Stadium.[9]

Aberdeen

On 22 June 2022, Stewart signed a pre-contract with Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen on a two-year deal.[10] On 8 July 2022, Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin announced that Stewart would serve as the club's captain, taking over from Joe Lewis, with teammate Ross McCrorie serving as vice captain.[11]

In January 2023 he joined League One club Milton Keynes Dons until the end of the season. He made his first appearance for the club against former team Wycombe Wanderers.

In June 2024 Stewart was released by Aberdeen FC.
