About Marcus-

Marcus Stewart (born William Marcus Paul Stewart in Bristol on 7 November 1972) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Exeter City in League Two. Stewart has played over 500 games and scored over 200 goals in his professional career.

Stewart signed for Bristol Rovers in 1991, where he played as a regular striker until 1996 when he signed for Huddersfield Town, the team that had beaten Bristol Rovers in the play-off final the season before. He was a great fans' favourite at Huddersfield before being controversially sold to rivals Ipswich Town in the final run in at the end of the 1999--2000 season.[1]

Ipswich were promoted to the Premier League at the end of the season ahead of Huddersfield due in no small part to Stewart's goals, with two crucially coming in the 2-2 draw at Bolton Wanderers in the Play Off Semi Final away leg. He continued his great form for the next season being the Premier League's second top goalscorer (and the division's highest English goalscorer) during 2000--01 with 19 goals for Ipswich, who amazingly finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup and leading for many fans to call for him to be included in the England team. The following season saw Ipswich suffer a fall from grace that resulted in relegation, and although Stewart only notched up 6 league goals, he was still the team's OPTA player of the year for the second successive year.

Following Ipswich's fall from the heights they had recently achieved, Stewart signed for Sunderland where he had three successful seasons. He played his last game for Sunderland on 8 May 2005, after a successful last season for the club which saw him score 17 goals. He departed Sunderland in good terms after deciding that he was too old to play to a Premiership standard.

He chose to sign for Bristol City, fulfilling his ambition to play for the team which he has supported since he was a boy despite beginning his career with City's neighbours and rivals Bristol Rovers. In March 2006, Stewart moved on-loan to Preston North End until the end of the 2005--06 season. After his return to Bristol he was publicly told by City's manager and chairman that he should seek another club, though he was not formally transfer-listed. In August 2006 he signed for Yeovil Town on a 3-month loan and scored a goal on his debut away at Swansea City. He signed a permanent deal with Yeovil in January 2007.[2]

Stewart signed a deal with newly promoted League Two side Exeter City on July 14, 2008
