[edit] Playing career
Lewis started his career at Fulham as a youngster making his Football League debut as a substitute at Burnley on 17 October 1992. He went on to make five further league appearances, including four starts, for Fulham, and also played one FA Cup game, before dropping out of the league in 1993 for spells with Dover Athletic and Hendon from 1996 to 1999, famously scoring the winner in an FA Cup 1st round replay at Leyton Orient. During this first spell with Hendon he made a total of 146 appearances, scoring 69 goals. He came back into the league with Gillingham in 1999. After a season and a half at Priestfield, Lewis moved up to the Premiership with Leicester City, and subsequently had spells at Brighton & Hove Albion (on loan), Swindon Town, Hull City, Brentford, Milton Keynes Dons and Stevenage Borough.
[edit] Coaching career
On 20 June 2008, he was reunited with Peter Taylor, his manager at six previous clubs (Dover, Gillingham, Leicester, Brighton, Hull and Stevenage), as he joined the backroom staff at Wycombe Wanderers.[1] When Taylor parted company with Wycombe by mutual consent in October 2009 Lewis also left the club,[2] and the pair subsequently rejoined at Bradford.
Between his roles at Wycombe and Bradford, he joined Welwyn Garden City of the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division.[3]
It was announced on 14 June 2011, that he would be rejoining Hendon as player-coach having been unemployed since leaving Bradford City towards the end of 2010–11.
