Youth career

Born in Almere, Lewis started out playing with Waterwijk, before joining Almere City at the age of 11, where he spent 1 year before joining Feyenoord Academy in 2012. He spent 7 years playing at Youth level for Feyenoord, featuring in the Beloften Eredivisie, KNVB Reserve Cup, Premier League International Cup and UEFA Youth League.[1]

Feyenoord

St Patrick's Athletic

On 26 January 2023, Lewis signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic.[5] [1] [6] Manager Tim Clancy revealed that the opportunity to sign Lewis came about after a move to a UK club collapsed after Lewis failed to obtain a work permit for that country as he did not meet the criteria following a rule change due to Brexit.[7] Lewis was voted Player of the Month for February 2023 by the clubs supporters for his performances in his first month with the club.[8] He scored the first goals of his senior career on 2 June 2023, coming off the bench away to UCD and scoring a header from a corner with his first touch in the 42nd minute, before scoring another header from a corner in the 63rd minute of a 3–1 win.[9] On 12 July 2023, Lewis made his first appearance in European competition in a 2–1 loss against F91 Dudelange in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League at the Stade Jos Nosbaum.[10] On 12 August 2023, it was announced that Lewis had left the club by mutual consent.[11]

Perugia

On 11 January 2024, Lewis signed for Serie C side Perugia on a contract until June 2026, following a successful trial period with the Italian club.[12] [13]
