On 24 February 2012, Lennox joined Maidenhead United on short-term loan,[4] and a day later made his debut, playing a full game against Boreham Wood, conceding 3 goals.[5] He then went on to keep a clean sheet in the next game against top of the table Woking in a 2–0 victory. In the first half of the game he saved a penalty from midfielder Jack King.[6]
On 3 October 2014, Lennox joined Conference South club Concord Rangers on a 28-day loan.[7] After 3 appearances for Concord Rangers, Lennox broke his finger during training and returned early to Queens Park Rangers.[8]
