Lewis Horner (born 1 February 1992 in Newcastle upon Tyne) is a professional footballer, who plays as a defender for Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Horner previously appeared in the Scottish Premier League for Hibernian.[1]

Career

Horner attended Seaton Burn School and joined the football development programme at Tyne Met College. His progression at college went so well that he won a scholarship with Hibernian.[2] Horner signed his first professional contract with Hibernian in January 2010 and made his first team debut as a substitute against Inverness CT on 11 May 2011.[3][4]

He was loaned to Scottish Third Division side East Stirlingshire in November 2011[5] and made his debut the following day against Berwick Rangers.[6]

Horner was released by Hibernian at the end of his contract in 2013[7] and he signed for English non-league club Newcastle Benfield.[8] He then moved to Blyth Spartans in September 2013, having played against them during pre-season.[9] At Blyth, Horner earned a call up to the 'England C' squad, from manager Paul Fairclough, for a fixture marking the Northern League's 125th anniversary.[10]

After a successful trial in August 2014,[11] Horner signed professional terms with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, reuniting him with manager John Hughes, who had previously been his manager at Hibernian.[12][13] He made his debut for the club, coming on as a substitute for David Raven in the 82nd minutes, in a 0–0 draw against Dundee.[14] Horner was an unused substitute as Inverness won the 2015 Scottish Cup Final.[15]
