On 22 July 2023, Stewart joined Preston North End on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. On 23 September 2023, Stewart made his debut for Preston in a 1–1 draw with Rotherham United, coming off the bench in the 88th minute.
On 3 January 2025, Stewart joined Swiss Challenge League leaders FC Thun on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
On 18 September 2026, Stewart signed for Scottish Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Stewart made his debut, and scored his first goal for the club, the following day against Livingston in a 2–2 away draw.
