Early life

When he was young, Lewis was a talented athlete competing at national level for his age-group over 800m and 1500m.[3] He represented England Schools in athletics[3][4] and finished second in the English Schools' U17 cross-country in 2014.[5]

Club career

Luton Town

Lewis started his football career as a youth player with his home-town club Luton Town,[5] with whom he won the Aarau Masters, a European 5-a-side Under-11 Championship in 2009.[6] He left Luton Town in 2013 to focus on his prospects as a national-level 800-metre runner.[7]

Norwich City

Lewis returned to professional football in 2014, signing for Norwich City.[5]

During the 2016–17 season, he played for the Norwich U23 team.[8] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Lewis signed a new contract until 2021.[8] In December 2017, Lewis made his senior debut for Norwich City against Brentford, coming on as a substitute for Marco Stiepermann.[9] On Boxing Day 2017, he made his first start for Norwich against Birmingham City.[10] He scored his first senior goal in the 93rd minute of an FA Cup third round replay against Chelsea in January 2018.[11]

Lewis was named the EFL Young Player of the Month for September 2018,[3] and in October 2018, he was rewarded with a new long-term contract which ran until June 2023.[12]

In March 2019 he was named in the 2018–19 PFA Championship Team of the Year, alongside team-mates Max Aarons and Teemu Pukki.[13] Lewis made 28 appearances for Norwich City in the 2019–20 Premier League.[14] In August 2020, Norwich rejected a £10 million bid from Liverpool for Lewis.[15]

Newcastle United

Lewis signed a five-year contract with Newcastle United on 8 September 2020.[16]

International career

Though born in England, Lewis was eligible to play for Northern Ireland through his Belfast-born mother.[1] He first represented the country in 2016, making three appearances for the U19 team.[1] In June 2017, he was called up to the U21 team and made his U21 debut against Estonia.[17]

In March 2018, he was called up to the Northern Ireland senior squad for the first time.[18] He made his senior international debut in a 2–1 friendly win over South Korea on 24 March 2018.[19]

On 9 October 2021, Lewis was sent off in the first half in an eventual 2–0 loss to Switzerland. His first yellow was for a rash challenge on Breel Embolo, but his second was for timewasting after he struggled to find a teammate from a throw-in. Manager Ian Baraclough said that the decision to send Lewis off was "diabolical" and it changed the course of the game.[20][21]
