Colin Stewart (born 10 January 1980 in Middlesbrough) is a Scottish professional footballer, who currently plays for Scottish First Division side Greenock Morton.

Career

Stewart started his career with Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock, but could not win the place as their starting Goalkeeper and was loaned out to a number of lower division clubs. Since 2003 he has played more regularly, mainly at the First Division level.

Stewart was first choice goalkeeper throughout the second half of season 2006/07 for First Division side Livingston, where he played the last dozen or so games after outing Mariusz Liberda from the number one jersey.

After being released by Livingston's new owners, Stewart signed for Division One rivals Morton in May 2008. [cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/morton/7401604.stm|title=Keeper Stewart heads for Morton|publisher=BBC Sport|date=2008-05-14|accessdate=2008-09-14]

Stewart was originally expected to be the first choice goalkeeper for season 2007/08, however after a shaky debut against Clyde at Broadwood on August 2 2008 [cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_div_1/7536354.stm|title=Clyde 1-1 Morton|publisher=BBC Sport|date=2008-08-02|accessdate=2008-09-14] , he was dropped for ex-St Johnstone goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert, who was listed as a trialist on the substitutes bench for that game.

Personal life

Stewart is the son of former Scotland goalkeeper Jim Stewart and is married to women's football star Julie Fleeting.
