Stewart was born at Dunedin in Otago in 1944,[3] the son of a restaurateur in the city.[4] A club cricketer for Albion Cricket Club in the city,[4] Stewart played age-group matches for Otago from 1960–61 before making his senior representative debut for the provincial side in January 1964. Later that season he played a first-class match for a New Zealand under-23 side. He made five more first-class appearances for Otago, two during 1965–66 and three in 1968–69.[5]
After qualifying as a dentist, Stewart moved to Levin in Horowhenua on the North Island.[2] He played Hawke Cup cricket for Horowhenua between 1972–73 and 1977–78 as well as appearing in three first-class matches for Central Districts during the 1974–75 season.[5] In a total of 10 first-class matches he scored 205 runs, with his highest score of 63 coming for Central Districts against Northern Districts in January 1975.
