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.[2]

Feyenoord

[edit]

St Patrick's Athletic

[edit]

On 26 January 2023, Lewis signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic.[6][2][7] 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.[8] Lewis was voted Player of the Month for February 2023 by the clubs supporters for his performances in his first month with the club.[9] 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.[10] 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.[11] On 12 August 2023, it was announced that Lewis had left the club by mutual consent.[12]

Perugia

[edit]

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.[13][14]

International career

[edit]

Lewis made his Netherlands U17 debut on 12 February 2017 in a 2–1 loss to Portugal U17.[15] In October 2018, he was an unused substitute for Netherlands U19 in their 5–0 win over Faroe Islands U19,[16] 6–0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina U19[17] and their 2–1 loss to Republic of Ireland U19.[18]
