Stuart is a product of the club’s academy whose career was severely hampered by injuries. Peter Reid gave the England Youth international his first substitute appearance in the final game of the 2003-04 season. He made less than 20 appearances. Successive managers recognised his talent but just as he seemed to look like a regular he picked up injuries which eventually forced him to retire.
