Retired NRL player Brett Stewart will face court next month after being charged with cocaine possession.

The former Manly Sea Eagles fullback was stopped and searched by police on March 10 on Sydney's Northern Beaches when they allegedly found 0.61 grams of cocaine.

The 38-year-old was charged with one count of possessing a prohibited drug.

Stewart did not appear at Manly Local Court on Wednesday when his lawyer requested a two-week adjournment to seek instructions from her client.

The two-time premiership winner represented Australia and NSW in the State of Origin and played 233 games for Manly between 2003 and 2016 before retiring in 2017.

The matter will return to court on May 3.
