Damion Stewart (born 18 August 1980) is a Jamaican professional football defender who plays for Queens Park Rangers.
Club career
Harbour View
Stewart played for Jamaican team Harbour View. While playing as defensive stalwart at Harbour View, his club won the Jamaica National Premeire League title in 2000 and CFU Club Championship in 2004. In February 2005 he had a trial with Darlington, following which he was due to sign for the rest of the 2004–05,[1] until his move was blocked by the Home Office.[2]
Bradford City
He returned to England in the summer with Bradford City and signed a season long loan for the 2005–06 season.[3] He made his Bradford debut as a half-time substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Southend United on 9 August 2005. His first start came on 12 November 2005 when he was substituted after just 27 minutes.[4] He scored his first goal in a 1–0 victory over Bournemouth to help ease Bradford's relegation worries.[5] In total he played 23 league games during his loan spell as Bradford came 11th in League One.
Queens Park Rangers
Bradford manager Colin Todd had hoped to keep Stewart on, but his form earned him a six-figure transfer to Championship side Queens Park Rangers.[6] After a shaky start to life in the Championship, Stewart hit form after the arrival of Danny Cullip from Nottingham Forest.[citation needed] He soon cemented his place in the Queens Park Rangers side and played more than 80 games in the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons. In the 2007–08 season, Stewart scored five goals, but was also sent off twice.[7] He memorably scored the only goal as QPR knocked Aston Villa out of the 2008/09 Carling Cup with a 1-0 victory at Villa Park.[8]
International career
Stewart played for the Jamaica Under-20 and Under-23 youth national teams. He made his senior international debut for Jamaica National Football Team in 1999 against Ghana. He has played in the 2003, 2005 and 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cups and numerous World Cup qualification matches since his senior team debut.
