Dennon Elliot Lewis (born 9 May 1997) is an English footballer who plays as a wingback for National League club Woking.

A former professional at Premier League side Watford, Lewis had loan spells at Woking and Crawley Town between 2016 and 2017. He then had a spell with Scottish club Falkirk in 2018, before joining Wealdstone in June 2019, following a brief stint with Bromley. He signed for Boreham Wood in November 2021, before returning to Woking ahead of the 2023–24 campaign.

Club career

[edit]

Watford

[edit]

Lewis joined the Academy at Watford in 2008, and progressed through the ranks to sign his first (three-year) professional contract in July 2015.[3] He played all along the right-flank for the under-21s during the 2015–16 campaign, making a total of 29 appearances.[4]

On 28 July 2016, he joined National League club Woking on a season-long loan.[5] He made his first team debut on 6 August, in a 3–1 defeat to Lincoln City at the Kingfield Stadium.[6] He scored his first senior goal seven days later, in a 2–1 defeat at Southport.[7] Between 3 September to 13 September he scored in three consecutive games, against Macclesfield Town, Guiseley and Torquay United.[8][9][10] On 28 January, he received the first red card of his career when he was dismissed for two bookable offences in a 1–0 victory at Eastleigh.[11] Lewis scored four goals from 33 appearances as Woking posted an 18th-place finish in the 2016–17 season.[12]

On 6 July 2017, he joined EFL League Two side Crawley Town on loan until the end of the year.[13] He had previously played under "Red Devils" manager Harry Kewell when Kewell worked at the Watford Academy.[14] He made his debut in the English Football League on 5 August, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for Enzio Boldewijn in a 3–1 defeat to Port Vale at Broadfield Stadium.[15]

On 13 April 2018, it was announced that Lewis would leave Watford at the conclusion of his contract in June 2018.[16]

Falkirk

[edit]

Lewis signed a one-year contract with Scottish Championship club Falkirk, effective from 1 July 2018.[17] On 14 July 2018, Lewis made his Falkirk debut during their 1–0 home defeat to Montrose in the Scottish League Cup[18] and three days later scored his first goal in their 2–0 victory over Forfar Athletic.[19] In November 2018, Lewis spoke out about the alleged racist abuse he received from Falkirk's own fans.[20] Police Scotland later charged a 34 year old with breach of the peace, though stated there was insufficient evidence to prove any racist intent.[21] It was later proven there was no racism and Lewis had made it up in order to force a transfer.

Wealdstone

[edit]

On 15 June 2019, following a brief spell with National League side, Bromley, Lewis joined National League South side, Wealdstone.[22] He went onto make his debut for the club during a 4–1 home victory over Dartford on the opening day of the 2019–20 campaign, in which he scored in the 76th minute to give the hosts a 2–1 lead.[23] Lewis went onto net ten more times in the league for the Stones, in a campaign which was prematurely ended due to emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

On 10 September 2020, following the club's promotion to the National League, Lewis signed a new two-year deal.[24] On 5 April 2021, Lewis scored a brace against rivals Barnet,[25] and netted a total of 5 times in 40 league appearances in the 2020-21 season.

Lewis started the 2021-22 season playing in a left wingback role.[26] On 4 September 2021 he scored his first goal of the season against Dagenham & Redbridge, and appeared in all of Wealdstone's first 13 league games before leaving the club[27]

Boreham Wood

[edit]

On 9 November 2021, Lewis signed for fellow National League side Boreham Wood.[28]

Return to Woking

[edit]

On 25 May 2023, following the expiry of his contract at Boreham Wood, Lewis agreed to return to Woking on a one-year deal, where he had a previous loan spell during the 2016–17 campaign.[29]
