Playing career


Lawton joined Coventry City after being spotted playing for Mount Nod Juniors at the age of six.[2] According to the then manager Tony Mowbray, in May 2015 he "earned the right for us to give him an offer of a new contract by his personality, his drive and conviction".[3] He joined Conference North club Nuneaton Town on loan at the start of the 2015–16 season, and made his senior debut playing at right-back in a 1–1 draw with Stockport County at Liberty Way on 22 August.[4][5] He made his professional debut for Coventry after coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for Conor Thomas in a 0–0 draw with Yeovil Town in a Football League Trophy match at Huish Park on 6 October 2015; Coventry went on to lose the penalty shoot-out 4–3.[6] Manager Tony Mowbray said that Lawton had the potential to be a "iconic warrior figure" at the Ricoh Arena.[2] However, he suffered serious knee ligament damage only a week after his debut and was ruled out of action for the rest of the 2015–16 season.[7] He returned to fitness in October 2016, having spent 12 months on the sidelines.[8] He was released in January 2017.[9]

He had a trial at Port Vale in March 2017.[10]

Lawton joined Halesowen Town in November 2017.[11]

On 11 July 2019, Lawton signed for Southern League Premier Division Central side Stratford Town.[12]

On 24 October 2019, Lawton signed for Alvechurch.


Style of play


Speaking in May 2014, Coventry City Academy manager Richard Stevens said that Lawton was "competitive, combative and a real aggressive midfield player" who was "a warrior and leader among men".[13] He is also able to play across the defence.[14]
