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

Lewis made his first team debut for Feyenoord on 21 March 2018, replacing Sven van Beek from the bench in a 4–0 win over ADO Den Haag in a friendly.[2]

Willem II

Lewis signed for Eredivisie side Willem II in September 2021.[4] He featured mainly for the club's reserve side but was an unused substitute in 3 of the first team's Eredivisie games during the season as they were relegated to the Eerste Divisie.[3]

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]
