Thomas Stewart, (born 12 November 1986), is a Northern Irish footballer who plays for Dundalk. He is known for his long range shooting and precise finishing.
As an apprentice Stewart was the youth team's top goalscorer and played in a FA Youth semi-final against Southampton in 2005, but never made the breakthrough to first team football.
After returning from England he signed a full-time contract with the Blues on 11 September 2006. He scored on his debut v Limavady on the 30th, but subsequently was used mostly as a wide midfielder by David Jeffrey. He moved to Derry City following successful seasons at Linfield.
Stewart signed for Stephen Kenny (footballer) in June 2008 on a two and a half-year full-time contract. He made his debut in Sligo on 5 July. Stewart scored on his home debut the following week. He was the second opposition player to score at Tallaght Stadium in March 2009. He had a productive couple of seasons at the Brandywell winning the FAI League Cup and playing and scoring in the UEFA Europa League.
Despite agreeing terms with Carolina Railhawks in March 2010 the player returned home to sign for Shamrock Rovers. He made his debut against University College Dublin A.F.C. on 2 April. He scored Rovers' winner in the Europa League tie against Bnei Yehuda in July 2010 which set up the glamour tie against Italian giants Juventus. Stewart proved to be a big game player and in the last league game of the 2010 League of Ireland season he scored on the night Rovers secured their 16th domestic crown.
Stewart made his debut for Thistle in a home defeat against Falkirk F.C.. His first goal came in a 3–2 defeat away to Dundee F.C. on 30 April 2011.
