Early career
Born in Plymouth, Devon, Yetton began his career at Plymouth Argyle in 2003, but found his chances in the first team were limited. After a trial with St Mirren and a month-long loan spell at Weymouth, in which his only appearance was as a substitute in the 3–0 win over St Albans City on 13 November 2004, he moved to Tiverton Town on 11 February 2005. He scored twice on his debut in a 2–0 win at Cirencester Town the following day, and scored ten goals in league and cup during his time at the Devon club.
Truro City
Yetton moved to Truro City late in 2005, with the club then in the South Western League. He proved to be a prolific goalscorer with 200 goals in all competitions by February 2010 as City progressed through the Western League and the Southern League. These included 72 goals during the 2006–07 season (a club record), and six goals in the 8–5 victory over Radstock Town in 2007–08.
Stewart Yetton went on a month's loan at Ivybridge Town at the start of the 2009–10 season for one month to regain fitness from his shoulder injury, scoring four goals in three games. On his first match back from his loan, in the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round, Yetton scored the equaliser for Truro against Mangotsfield United in the 90th minute to earn a replay.
On 20 February 2010, Yetton scored his 200th league goal for Truro City, a late goal against Bedford Town. His total number of goals at that point was greater than the number of games he had played in the league, and he is the record goalscorer at the club.
After five months on the sidelines with a knee injury during the 2012–13 season, Yetton returned to the Truro squad and scored three goals in three games, although the club were relegated from the Conference South. However, his career at Truro was ended after a training ground incident on 18 April 2013, in which City defender Ben Gerring suffered a broken jaw. Yetton was initially suspended until the end of the season, and was linked with a return to Weymouth. In nearly eight years at Truro, he scored 226 goals in 315 league and cup appearances, also scoring in his last game, a 2–1 win at A.F.C. Hornchurch on 13 April. He became a free agent on 2 May and signed for the Terras on 4 May.
Weymouth
Yetton scored 27 league goals in 44 league games in his first season at Weymouth. In May 2014, Yetton signed a contract to keep him at Weymouth until the end of the 2015/16 season.
Outside football
In August 2011, Yetton took a five-wicket haul on debut for Old Suttonians Cricket Club, helping them to a nine-wicket win.
