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]
