He first joined the Academy at Watford back in 2008, and his since played for Bromley, Leyton Orient, Eastleigh and more.
After signing with Scottish Championship club Falkirk, Lewis said he was subjected to "disgusting" racial abuse from fans.

Taking to Twitter, Dennon wrote: "I have never gone through a period like this in my life."
He added: "I know that I will not and cannot stand for this."
In December last year, the police issued a statement saying: "A 34-year-old man has been charged with a breach of the peace and issued with a formal police warning following an investigation into an incident, which occurred during the Falkirk vs Stenhousemuir match on 24th November."
