Glenn Stewart (born 11 January 1984) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Leigh Centurions in the Super League. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative second-row forward, he previously played for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and South Sydney Rabbitohs in the National Rugby League, winning the 2008 and 2011 premierships as well as the Clive Churchill Medal with the former. He is the older brother of former teammate Brett Stewart.
Glenn Stewart made his first grade debut for Manly in Round 20 of the 2003 NRL season, playing from the bench in a 26-20 win over the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The first time he and brother Brett played together in first grade was in Round 18 of the 2004 season when the Sea Eagles defeated the Wests Tigers 26-18 at the home of Manly, Brookvale Oval on 11 July.
Between 2003 and 2006, Stewart only played 19 games for the Sea Eagles, often finding himself in their NSW Cup side due to the presence of established back rowers Ben Kennedy, Anthony Watmough, Luke Williamson, and Manly club legend Steve Menzies. With Kennedy's retirement from playing at the end of the 2006 NRL season, coach Des Hasler gave "Gifty" his chance to cement a first grade place in the team from 2007. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands, playing 26 games for the season, mostly in the second-row.
