Lewis is an English goalkeeper, currently playing as No1 for the 1st team at Welwyn Garden City FC in Southern League Division 1 Central. Since leaving QPR in 2015, Lewis has played 90 competitive 1st team non-league matches at the conclusion of the 2018/2019 season.

Lewis started his playing career with Luton Town FC at the age of 10 and after two successful seasons, moved to Wycombe Wanderers FC at the age of 12.

After a successful term at Wycombe Wanderers, he joined Queens Park Rangers FC at age of 13. At 15 years of age, he played a number of games for the Under 18s and he was offered a two year scholarship with Queens Park Rangers. At age 16, Lewis was playing for the Under 18’s team and during a pre-season training week with QPR U18s in Birmingham, Lewis was called up to travel to Italy with the QPR U21 squad and the 1st team. He made his U21 debut at the age of 16. He played two games whilst on tour in Italy and trained with 1st team goalkeeper Rob Green.

Two months into his scholarship, Lewis left QPR, deciding that he wanted to pursue his chosen career via a different route.

Lewis was determined that playing 1st team men’s football, whilst simultaneously training three times a week at a Premier League academy as a training keeper and twice a week with renowned goalkeeper trainer Sean Griffiths, would offer him the best opportunity to progress his career. Lewis subsequently joined North Greenford FC in February 2016 and played the last 18 games of the 2015/16 season with them. His talent and contribution to the 1st team was immediately recognised and he was made Club Captain. In addition, at the end of the 2015/2016 season, he became the youngest player in the club’s history to have been awarded Players Player of the Year.

During the 16/17, 17/18 and 18/19 seasons Lewis played 1st team matches for Barton Rovers in The Southern League Div. 1 , for Middlesex FA U18 and won The FA County Youth Cup, had to drop down a league after returning from injury and played for North Greenford United and Tring Athletic FC in The Spartan South Mid Prem League. After another serious hand injury, Lewis played the last part of the 18/19 season at Welwyn Garden City FC in the Southern League Div. 1 Central where he gained excellent experience playing for a newly put together team fighting relegation.
