Stuart's new deal runs until the end of season 2006/07 and after recovering from a medial ligament injury in his knee, the former Garioch player, who has been turning out for Aberdeen Grammar FPs this season, told the Press and Journal: "It was great to get everything finally settled. The step up to full-time training has been brilliant, and I have certainly felt the benefit."
Stuart has represented Scotland at all age-group levels and was part of the Scotland under-21 side which beat England in last year's shadow six nations tournament.
"My short-term ambitions are to get back into the Glasgow squad. In the summer Scotland A are travelling to Canada for the Churchill Cup and I would love to be involved with the team," added Stuart.
