Immensely powerful and hard to dispossess, Stuart scored within four minutes of coming off the bench for his debut in January 2004. He signed for Brakes from Leamington Hibernian. Tall and easy on the ball, with a powerful header and good footballing brain, Stuart is capable of running the game from midfield and also scoring the occasional, vital goal.

Stuart scored Leamington's 400th goal since 2000 against Nuneaton Griff in a Midland Combination Premier division game on 24 August 2004. He was a deserved "Player's Player of the Year", 2006-7.

A revelation as he stepped up to the BGB Football League Midland Division, crowd favourite Stuart's season was cut short by injury.
