Karl Junior Lewis (born 9 October 1973) is a former professional footballer playing for Welwyn Garden City. He is an experienced central midfield player, who is 6ft 2in tall.
Lewis started his career at Fulham as a youngster making his Football League debut as a substitute at Burnley on 17 October 1992. He went on to make five further league appearances, including four starts, for Fulham, and also played one FA Cup game, before dropping out of the league in 1993 for spells with Dover Athletic and Hendon from 1995 to 1999, famously scoring the winner in an FA Cup 1st round replay at Leyton Orient. He came back into the league with Gillingham in 1999. After a season and a half at Priestfield, Lewis moved up to the Premiership with Leicester City, and subsequently had spells at Brighton & Hove Albion (on loan), Swindon Town, Hull City, Brentford, Milton Keynes Dons and Stevenage Borough.
On 20 June 2008, he was reunited with Peter Taylor, his manager at six previous clubs (Dover, Gillingham, Leicester, Brighton, Hull and Stevenage), as he joined the backroom staff at Wycombe Wanderers.[1]
In November 2008 he joined Welwyn Garden City of the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division.[2]
