He later scored his first goal for Aalesund against Haugesund on 16 May 2012 in his fifth league appearance for the club. He scored goals in both Aalesund's Europa League wins against KF Tirana.[2]
The latter half of the 2012 season was bright for the Jamaican. On 29 July, he scored his second league goal for the club in the home 3–1 win against Stabæk,[3] while he scored two times in an away win against Fredrikstad FK. This was Aalesund's first away win in 14 months.[4]
During July 2014, Stewart left Aalesund returning to Jamaica.[5] Just over a year later, Stewart returned to Northern Europe, signing for Veikkausliiga side RoPS on a one-year contract.[6]
