Stuart began his professional career with Rangers of
Johannesburg, where he won the South African Cup, before joining
English First Division side
Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 1951. After spending time in the reserves, he made his senior debut on 15 April 1952, scoring in a 4–1 loss to
Black Country rivals West Bromwich Albion. A visit to his homeland saw him contract a tropical disease that hospitalised him and put him out of action for over a year. His first season with the club saw them win the
Second Division title in
1962–63, and he remained for their return in the top flight. ==Career statistics==
