Playing career

Stuart played for Hornby in the Canterbury Rugby League competition before being selected for New Zealand in 1924 despite having suffered a knee injury in trials that troubled him for the rest of his career.[2] He scored a try in his debut Test against the Great Britain Lions in Auckland and also played in the third Test in Dunedin.

Stuart was a South Island reserve in 1928 and switched to Addington in 1930, helping the club to a Thacker Shield victory.[2]
