Background: Spent time with Norwich City, Arsenal and Spurs as a youth player but despite England honours at U16 and U17 level, never progressed to First Team football and opted to join Barnet in January 2007. Made his Football League debut shortly afterwards but was released in March 2007 and went on to join Stevenage Borough in the Conference.

In January 2008 Lewis returned to the Football League when former Stevenage boss Mark Stimson signed him for Gillingham where he would go on to make 60 appearances. In June 2010 he was signed by Football League newcomers Dagenham & Redbridge on a three year deal but he fell out of favour with Daggers boss John Still and was signed by Gary Waddock at Wycombe on an initial one month loan deal on 22 November 2010. This was extended for a further month on 21 December 2010. Wanderers then had the option of asking for a further month loan to the maximum 93 day period but in January 2011 he eventually agreed an 18 month contract following his release by 'mutual consent' from Dagenham.

Quickly became a regular in the Wanderers First Team under Gary Waddock and then under new boss Gareth Ainsworth from September 2012, progressing to being made Captain of the side during the relegation escape season of 2013/14. However, opportunities during the following season became limited and on 7th January 2015 it was revealed he had joined Conference South side Ebbsfleet United on a free transfer. Commenting on the move, Ainsworth said: "Stu has been a superb servant to this club over the past four years, and we fully respect his wishes to be playing regular first-team football at this stage of his career. He was my captain last season and has been an important member of the squad on and off the pitch throughout his time here. When the opportunity arose to move to Ebbsfleet, Stu wished to pursue it and after careful consideration, we felt it was best for all parties and wish him every success with his new club.”

Meanwhile, Lewis added: "I’ve been at Wycombe for four years but it’s a fresh challenge for me and when I heard of the owner’s plans here and talked to the manager, I just jumped at the chance to be part of something that’s moving forward in the way this is. I’ve had a great time at Wycombe, I’ve captained them, shared some great experiences with the fans and people there and it’s a really good club. But I needed a fresh start.”
