Lewis McCann (born 7 June 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as forward for club Dunfermline Athletic. Born in Scotland, he has represented Northern Ireland at youth international level.
McCann and his brothers, Ali (also a footballer) and Ross (Scotland rugby 7s player), were born in Scotland to a Northern Irish father and an English mother.[2] He attended Royal High School in Edinburgh.[3]
Born in Edinburgh, McCann played youth football with Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale, Heart of Midlothian and Fife Elite Football Academy, before signing his first professional contract with Dunfermline Athletic in May 2018.[4] His first appearance for the side came in July 2018 as a second-half substitute in a Scottish League Cup game against Peterhead.[5] In January 2022, McCann signed a contract extension until May 2024.
McCann said of his international eligibility, "Northern Ireland were the first country that came to me. I don't really have a preference what country I play for. My dad's from Northern Ireland, my mum's from London and I was born here in Scotland."[2]
McCann has represented Northern Ireland at under-19 level.[6] [7]
