Lewis was spotted by Rushden & Diamonds whilst playing for Newport Pagnell Town in 2009 and joined the Northamptonshire side on a scholarship. Whilst with the Diamonds he had “work experience” spells back at Newport Pagnell and also with Northampton Spencer.

When Rushden & Diamonds folded, Lewis returned in August 2011 to Newport Pagnell Town but after impressing Northampton Town in a trial he accepted in January 2012 the offer of a professional deal from the then League 2 side until the end of that season. He would make three Football League appearances towards the end of that season and had his contract extended for a further year. After making a final five League appearances in the first four months of season 2012/13, Lewis had two loan spells with then Southern League Premier Kettering Town and one with then Conference North side Bishops Stortford before being released by the Cobblers at the end of that season.

Lewis then played for Kettering on a permanent basis, St Neots Town, Oxford City, Arlesey Town, AFC Rushden & Diamonds and had a second spell at St Neots Town before joining Cambridge City for season 2017/18, scoring 13 goals from 45 appearances for the Lilywhites. He moved to Stratford Town in the summer of 2018, making 82 appearances for the Warwickshire side, scoring 10 goals.
