On 7 April 2014, it was confirmed Stewart signed a pre-contract agreement with Dundee, officially joining the club on 1 June.[4] He scored on his debut as Dundee beat Peterhead 4–0 in the first round of the Scottish League Cup on 2 August 2014.[5] On 16 January 2015, he signed a new contract until 2017.[6] On 11 February 2015, Stewart was named as SPFL Player of the Month for January 2015, after scoring five goals in seven matches during the month.[7] In April 2015, he was named as one of four players on the shortlist for the PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year award.[8] He was nominated for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award for a second consecutive season in April 2016.
