Career

[edit]

West Ham United

[edit]

Raised in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, Lewis attended local school Belfairs Academy.[4] He grew up supporting Arsenal and joined the West Ham United Academy aged 8.[5] In May 2017, Lewis began his first professional deal, signing a 3-year contract with the club until June 2020.[6] He signed a 1-year contract extension in June 2020.[7] On 1 July 2020, Lewis' first involvement in the first team matchday squad came, as he was an unused substitute in his side's 3–2 win over rivals Chelsea at the London Stadium.[8] In February 2021, he was loaned to Irish side St Patrick's Athletic until the end of June.[9] He was then released by West Ham after 13 years at the club following the expiration of his contract.[10][11] He made a total of 12 appearances in the EFL Trophy for West Ham United U21 during his time at the club.[12]

St Patrick's Athletic

[edit]

On 23 February 2021, Lewis signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic on loan until 26 June 2021.[13][14][2] He made his debut in senior football on 9 April 2021, coming on as a substitute for Chris Forrester in a 2–0 win over Derry City at Richmond Park.[15] Lewis scored his first goal in senior football on 21 June 2021, scoring the final goal in a 4–1 win over Finn Harps to help his side to the top of the table.[16] Following his release by West Ham United after the end of his contract, Lewis returned to Pat's on a permanent basis on 1 July 2021 on a deal until the end of the season.[17][18] On 1 October 2021, he scored an injury time winner against Drogheda United, finding the top corner from the edge of the box to secure a 1–0 win at United Park.[19] He scored his 3rd goal of the season on 29 October 2021 in a 4–1 win away to Longford Town, a result that confirmed UEFA Europa Conference League football for the following season,[20] a goal that Lewis had set out to achieve upon returning to the club.[21] On 28 November 2021 Lewis was in the starting XI in the 2021 FAI Cup Final, as his side defeated rivals Bohemians 4–3 on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time in front of a record FAI Cup Final crowd of 37,126 at the Aviva Stadium.[22] During his time at the club, he received the nickname 'The Cockney Pirlo' from the Pat's fans, in reference to the legendary Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo.[23]

Plymouth Argyle

[edit]

Lewis signed for EFL League One side Plymouth Argyle on 5 January 2022.[24][25][26][27] He made his debut for the club 3 days later, coming on as a late substitute in extra time in a 1–0 win away to EFL Championship side Birmingham City at St Andrew's in the FA Cup Third Round.[28] Lewis made his league debut for the club on 25 January 2022, coming off the bench in a 3–3 draw away to Fleetwood Town.[29]

On 27 July 2022, it was announced that Lewis had returned to the League of Ireland Premier Division after just 2 appearances with Plymouth Argyle, linking up with his former St Patrick's Athletic manager Stephen O'Donnell at Dundalk for an undisclosed fee.[30] He made a total of 42 appearances, scoring 1 goal in his season and a half with the club, before leaving at the end of his contract at the end of November 2023.[31]
