Stuart made his Bulls debut against his hometown club the Halifax Blue Sox in May 1998. His progress since then was nothing short of sensational and he is now regarded as one of the best Prop Forwards in the world. Stuart didn't miss a game for the club in his last two seasons at Bradford and was an automatic choice to lead the Great Britain national rugby league team in the Rugby League Tri-Nations.

On 22th June 2006 Stuart make a shock switch from Bradford Bulls to join his old coach Brain Noble at Wigan Warriors. Wigan and Bradford agreed a transfer fee of £450,000 making it the most expensive transfer of the Super League era.
